Education board to examine schools budget for next year
The Orange County Board of Education will discuss next fiscal year’s budget from 5 to 7 p.m. today.
The special work session will be held at the Board of Education offices at 200 E. King St. in Hillsborough. A public hearing on budget issues is scheduled for April 25. School budgets typically are finalized by May.
A proposed change in the amount of capital funding schools will receive from the county and an increasing number of unfunded mandates have made budget outlooks more dim.
