This update is part of a series to keep employees, parents, and stakeholders aware of important dates and milestones during the 2025-2026 budget process.
In December 2024, the Board of Education approved school allotment guidelines, enabling school leaders to begin developing their budgets in early February.
State Funding
The state legislature is reviewing the budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 as announced by Governor Brian Kemp in January. However, a final picture of state funding will not be complete until their work is done, which is expected at the end of March. Concurrent with the legislature’s considerations, the district’s local budget process will go forward with staff presentations to the Board of Education over the next few months.
Coming Up
Next month, Chief Financial Officer Marvin Dereef will update the Board on Governor Brian Kemp’s budget recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year. However, state funding details won’t be finalized until March or April. We will continue to monitor the state’s budget process closely.
