Giles County Schools Eye New Sales Tax | Roanoke News

Giles County is eyeing a one percent sales tax to fund major school upgrades, with unanimous board approval and neighboring counties watching closely. The plan could generate up to $1.5 million annually—with 30% or more coming from out-of-county visitors—funding new playgrounds, modern bathrooms, and critical repairs across all six campuses. Targeted at schools flagged for academic support needs, this investment aims to create cleaner, more inspiring learning environments while boosting student outcomes. Final vote pending, but county leaders are optimistic this tax could transform education in Giles County. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
