New school budget ready for hearing tonight

At their meeting tonight, Oconee school trustees will accept public comment—good, bad, or indifferent—on their new budget proposed for the next 12 months starting in July. Tonight’s hearing is also an opportunity for the public to pose questions on revenues and spending for 2019-2020. In all, the budget is projected at $106.7 million. The trustees will meet in a work session to start at 6 tonight in their board conference room at district headquarters in Walhalla.
