Gainesville school budget up for debate at final hearing
GainesvilleSchoolBoardOffice
Residents will have one last opportunity Monday to voice opinions to school board members on a proposed 2018 Gainesville City School District budget that would keep the tax rate the same. It’s technically considered a tax increase since overall property values have increased and the government would thus be collecting more in revenue. The second of two public hearings on the $70.1 million budget is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday at the school district offices located at 508 Oak St. Chris Griner, the district’s chief financial officer, said the board is scheduled to vote on the budget June 19.
