School Board Adopts Budget Format

The Board of Education has put forward its budget request to the commissioners in sections--probably to cushion the shock of what looks like a 19% increase. The continuation budget-what is required to keep going as we are - has an increase of $1,078,604--mostly for an increase in salary for local positions.

$838,000 will be need to open the new SanLee Middle School in annually recurring cost for personnel and $353,607 for other costs at the new school. As usual, there is $300,000 in unfunded state mandates.

The the board laid out three priority programs for consideration ranging from $561,000 to $140,000.

On Monday we will find out how much the county manager has recommended of this amount.
