MS Code § 37-27-3 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 37 - Education|Chapter 27 - Agricultural High Schools|§ 37-27-3. Tax levy for support and maintenance of school; election

 The board of supervisors of any county where an agricultural high school shall have been established by the county board of education, shall levy on the taxable property in the county at the time the annual tax levy is made, for the support and maintenance of said school. In case there are two (2) agricultural high schools in any county, the board shall levy a separate tax for the support of each school, and the taxes, when collected, shall only be used for the support and maintenance of the particular school for which the tax is levied. The tax levy for agricultural high school purposes for any year shall not be less than the equivalent uniform minimum school district ad valorem tax levy for agricultural high school support as certified by the State Board of Education.   Within twenty (20) days after the levy has been made twenty percent (20%) of the qualified electors of said county may file with the clerk of the board of supervisors a petition asking that the tax for the support of either one (1) or both agricultural high schools be not levied. Thereupon, the question shall be submitted to an election of the qualified electors of the county within thirty (30) days after the next meeting of the board of supervisors after the filing of the petition, at which election said electors may vote against the tax levy for the support for either one (1) or both schools. Should the majority of the votes cast be against the tax levied for the support of one (1) or both schools, then the levy of the board for the support of that school or both schools, as the case may be, shall be null and void, and the tax collector shall refuse to collect such tax so voted against. Should a majority of the votes be for the tax levied in support of either or both schools, then the tax collector shall proceed to collect the tax so authorized as all other taxes are collected, receiving the lawful commission of such collections. The tax collected shall be deposited with the county depository, to be paid out by him on the order of the board of trustees for the high school or high schools.   When a majority of the votes be for the tax levied in support of either or both schools, or if the school be established and the tax levied without an election, then another election shall not be held for the purpose of voting against the tax levied within a period of four (4) years from date of said election. In no case shall the tax levied for an agricultural high school, which maintains an average high school boarding dormitory patronage of thirty-five (35) pupils, resident of that county, be submitted to an election.

Within twenty (20) days after levy has been made, twenty percent (20%) of the qualified electors of said county may file with the clerk of the board of supervisors a petition asking that the tax be not levied; thereupon, the question shall be submitted to an election of the people, which election shall be decisive to the levy for that year only. The maximum levy for maintenance purposes as fixed by the law for the agricultural high school, shall not be deemed a limitation on the tax levy for the building, repair, and equipment of agricultural high schools hereinbefore mentioned, nor the levy under this section, a limitation on the levy for maintenance purposes.

A county or counties co-operating with an established agricultural high school may be represented on the board of trustees of such school by the county superintendent of education and one trustee chosen by the board of supervisors of such county.   In levying the taxes provided by law, each county shall act independently, but if one county joining another or others in establishing a school, shall decline to levy the tax, the other county or counties may nevertheless do so, in which event the joint plan shall thereby be abandoned in so far as the county failing to levy the tax is concerned, and the county or counties levying the tax may proceed in the management and control of the school. In case two or more counties join in establishing or maintaining a joint school, and each county levies a special tax as provided by law, the tax collector of each county shall collect the tax in his county and pay the same into the county depository of his county. In paying the expenses of either school, the trustees shall draw on the funds of each county provided for that school, equitably as near as may be in proportion to the amount of tax collected for that school by each county; if no tax is levied, the trustees shall draw on any fund in the depository of the respective counties provided by law for the support of that school in proportion to the number of educable children attending such school for each county.
