Apr. 21—Cobb County School District residents and school board members will get their first look Thursday at a proposed budget for the coming school year, a budget whose proposed revenues and expenditures both exceed $1.4 billion.
Few details regarding the proposed budget were available Wednesday. District spokeswoman Nan Kiel did not answer questions regarding changes the budget might introduce. School board Chairman David Chastain said he would be hearing the proposed budget's details for the first time at Thursday's hearing "like everybody else."
But he'll be watching for details regarding a $2,000 raise for Georgia's teachers, approved earlier this year by the state legislature, and the impact of skyrocketing home values within the district.
