County Budget Committee Takes on Schools

The County Commission's Budget Committee will take a look at the School Board's proposed budget tonight.  Here's the agenda.

The Committee can accept the budget (which shows a $7 million+ shortfall), reject the budget, or simply defer until a later time.

County Commissioners have in recent comments indicated an opposition to raising additional revenue for any purpose, including schools.  If the Budget Committee rejects the budget, it will go back to the School Board for reconsideration.
