State Senator Jeff Mullis (R-Chickamauga) released his final report for the 2018 legislative session. Senator Mullis, who represents a large portion of Chattooga County in the state senate, was in Summerville earlier this week to address the local Republican Party. Senator Mullis says that the state legislature has fully funded QBE – Quality Basic Education – which is what determines how many state dollars are filtered back to local school districts. The funding allocates over $167 million to the Department of Education for K-12 schools and eliminates austerity cuts. According to Senator Mullis, the state will also be spending $16 million for school safety grants and $15 million for new school buses. You can read Senator Mullis’ complete report here:
