Both those lines go to the Sumter public schools.
The state spells out a lower number for how much the county needs to collect. This might be a minimum that is required to be spent for each student or it might have to do with receiving some state funds. In any case, the 2.7590 is what the county is required by the state to collect.
The school board can also levy taxes for funding beyond what the state requires. The school board has decided they need 2.2280 for projects that are beyond what the state mandates.
The combined millage, 4.987, is what the school board has proposed that we pay in school taxes this year.
