Stephens Co. BOE To Receive FY 18 Budget Tuesday

Next fiscal year’s budget for the Stephens County school system should come up at next week’s meeting of the Stephens County Board of Education.

During Thursday’s school board work session, Stephens County School Superintendent Bryan Dorsey told the board that they would receive information on the Fiscal Year 2018 budget on Tuesday.

Dorsey said that the school board will be required to hold two public hearings on the Fiscal Year 2018 budget before adoption.

He said the goal is to hold those public hearings in April, but notes that it is not finalized.

The school board would then adopt a budget for Fiscal Year 2018 at anytime after the public hearings and before June 30, for the start of Fiscal Year 2018 on July 1.

Tuesday’s meeting of the Stephens County Board of Education will be at 5:30 p.m. at the administrative offices of the Stephens County school system on Big A School Road, just off of Big A Road, in Toccoa.
