The Savannah-Chatham County Board of Public Education wants to hear from the public as the school district finalizes its proposed Fiscal Year 2026 Budget.
If the school board’s April 16 Budget Workshop is any indication of what will be presented then topics such as offsetting the potential loss of federal funds, optimizing employee compensation and benefits, assessment of the cost per pupil, pre-K education investment, adolescent literacy development and adoption of K-12 math textbooks could be discussed.
Citizens and employees have been invited to attend and provide comments at two upcoming public hearings.
