• I read the (Farragut Town official’s) opinion in the farragutpress (May 3 issue) about Knox County Schools funding (from the Town), and the point is Knox County provides all the (Town’s) police protection ... Farragut gets part of the sales tax from the businesses in Farragut. But my point is, Farragut contributes very, very little ... to Knox County Schools directly (in discretionary funding to the four Farragut public schools), I think it’s a little over $100,000 ($120,000 each fiscal year). ... Farragut needs to contribute more (in discretionary funds) to Farragut schools. Knox County contributes all the money for police protection. ... Farragut needs to contribute more rather that build parks and sports arenas.
