Hall County Schools’ budget for 2016-17 got a thumb’s up Monday night and Hall County’s tax digest — or a list of the county’s taxable properties — got a body slam.

But school officials expressed concerns about the digest, which still hasn’t made up ground lost in the aftermath of the 2007-09 Great Recession.
