Crittenden County Schools have begun a campaign to offer the community all it needs to know about the board of education’s consideration of a property tax increase to fund new school construction. The drive is called “Give 5 for Kids,” referencing a so-called recallable nickel increase in the levy on property. The school system kicked off its information blitz last week with a news release, which is being published in its entirety in this newspaper.
