The Sumner County Commission adopted the proposed budget for Sumner County Schools for the 2017-18 school year. The budget includes 1.5% raises for teachers and most employees as well as a scale adjustment for bus drivers and an increase in pay for substitute teachers.
A solid majority of the County Commission voted in favor of the budget, while four Commissioners, including Hendersonville's Merrol Hyde, voted against. The other Commissioners voting against funding the school system's budget were Jim Vaughn, Moe Taylor, and Mike Akins.
