Budget Hearing Dates Wanted. This Is the Year to Attend, Folks.

Budget Hearing Dates WantedIf there was ever a year to learn more about how your board of education uses taxpayer money to educate Alabama’s children, this is it.

With the tug-of-war going on in the Alabama legislature over how the $300 million hole in the General Fund will be filled, the Education Trust Fund continues to be a target for lawmakers looking for a quick fix. That means as many folks as possible need to be able to answer questions about how money is spent for education.

Bentley says state needs at least $300 million for a long-term General Fund budget fix. #alpolitics

So I’m looking for budget hearing dates, please. Please submit them in the document below.

I’m compiling a spreadsheet of dates as I find them, and today, I found notices for hearings in thirteen of Alabama’s 137 school districts. Scroll down to see those dates.

Board-approved budgets are due to the Alabama State Department of Education by September 15, 2015.

Here are the dates found as of 4:00 p.m. on August 11, 2015.

Stay tuned for more info to entice you to attend your district’s school budget hearing this year.
