How Did We Get Here � The State Superintendent is empowered (16-13-31) to send letters to every school system and county tax collector, telling them how Education Foundation dollars are to be spent. � The State Superintendent told Madison County- you have been paying too much for 1800 Madison City students residing in Limestone County- so stop. � The State Superintendent told Limestone County- you have not been paying for 1800 Madison City students residing in Limestone County- so start paying. � Limestone County refused to pay and sued Dee Fowler and the Board. � Madison County, Huntsville City, and the State Superintendent asked to be joined to the suit, and were allowed to do so. � Madison City taxpayers living in Limestone County are paying ad valorem and sales taxes for the purpose of education and receive NO benefit. 9

Myth vs Fact � Myth - Madison is a rich district. � Fact -In per/pupil spending both Athens and Limestone County spend more than Madison. � Myth - All the disputed money is in escrow. � Fact- The only money in escrow is the ad valorem. � Myth- There is nothing we can do - the matter is in litigation. � Fact- Only the ad valorem is in litigation. � Fact- The litigation will take years to reach conclusion – we do not have years to wait. � Fact- A state law can make the current litigation and appeals moot. � Fact- Everyone can use their influence for a fair result. � Myth- Madison City will not come to the negotiation table. � Fact- We have tried relentlessly to set meetings, to no avail. 10

What action is the Board taking? � Litigation � Lobbying the Legislature for a Bill � Asked Senators Orr and Holtzclaw for a bridge � Asked ALSDE for a bridge � Asked Legislature for assistance with TVA 11

What can the Mayor and City Council do? � Stop annexing in Limestone County � Moratorium on building permits in Limestone County 12

What can the Legislature do? � Support Mike Ball’s Bill � Emphasize litigation is not the answer � Redistribute the TVA money 13

What can our citizens do? � Attend the brown bag luncheon on Friday, May 20, 2016 � Lobby Legislature � Hold meetings and raise awareness � City PTA hold candidate forum and ask them what they will do about this situation 14

What can the Limestone County Commission do? � Find incentives to convince the Limestone Board to come to the table � Advocate to Legislators for redistribution of TVA money � Pass a one cent tax for education and have an existing one cent tax repeal 15

What can the Madison County Commission do? � Repeal the one cent district tax and replace with a half-cent county-wide tax � Lobby Legislators for redistribution of TVA money 16
