The Alabama County School Tax District, Amendment 12, also known as Amendment 12, was on the ballot in Alabama on December 11, 1951, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. The amendment proposed to amend the constitution. The amendment proposed that Board of Education of Lawrence County be authorized to designate one or more school districts within the County as a special school tax district, and to sell and issue bonds not in excess of $150,000,00 for each such special school tax district, for the purpose of acquiring funds for the construction, improvement, adding to, or equipping of a school building or buildings within such special school tax districts. In the event such bonds are issued, shall the governing body of Lawrence County be authorized to levy and collect an additional special tax of not exceeding five mills on each dollar's worth of property located within such special school tax district for the purpose of paying the principal and interest on such bonds, provided such tax is authorized by a majority of the voters of such districts in an election called for that purpose.[1]
