The Hall County Board of Education voted Monday night to OK a tentative $200 million budget for fiscal 2013-14, which begins July 1. Officials are looking at setting a tax rate of 19.25 mills, or .76 mills higher than the current rate of 18.49, when it gives final approval to the budget on June 24. One mill is equal to $1 for each $1,000 in property value, which is assessed at 40 percent.
