TAX BILL UPDATE – Fulton County District Residents
Thank you for your patience while we sorted out the Fulton County STAR Exemption issue. New tax bills are being mailed today, 9/4/2025, by Fulton County Real Property. If you have access to the internet, you can also look up your adjusted tax bill on taxlookup.net as soon as tomorrow 9/5/2025.

Dear DCS School Community,
Please read the following as it pertains to our crosswalks for walkers:
In preparation for the reconstruction to the main entrance road to the school, which is scheduled to begin in 2026 please note the following changes:
The upper crosswalk from the high school parking lot to the bus circle is CLOSED. This crosswalk will be eliminated during construction starting next spring. All parents and students are expected to use the junior senior high school crosswalk. Thank you.
Current Main Street Construction:
Students who walk will be crossed at the Main and Spencer Street intersection. Please follow the sidewalk North towards the carwash and turn left onto Slawson Street. Remain on this side of Slawson Street until you reach the next crossing guard where you will be crossed over.
Please inform your children to stay out of the construction zone. The sidewalks on both sides of Main St. are currently closed from the car wash to the post office.
Thank you,
Joseph J. Gilfus, Superintendent

Dear Fulton County District Residents –
It has been brought to our attention that the STAR Exemption has not been applied to several tax bills. We have been informed by Fulton County Real Property that there was a system glitch which is being addressed. Please review your tax bill to verify that your Exemptions are accurate. If not, please refrain from paying your School Tax bill until this issue is remedied. We hope to have an update in the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Jessica Radley
Business Manager
