Residents will have two final chances Monday to make comments on a proposed 2017-18 Hall County Schools budget before the school board takes a final vote. Public hearings are scheduled at 11:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday at the school district offices located at 711 Green St. Superintendent Will Schofield has proposed a $265.15 million general fund budget that raises salaries for all employees by 2.5 percent, as well as including mandated increases for employee benefits. The state legislature is requiring a 2 percent pay increase for teachers, but school officials have proposed a 2.5 percent hike across the board.
