BEAUFORT – Two public forums are scheduled for community members to learn more about the school district budget being developed by the Beaufort County Board of Education for the 2024-25 school year.
The first forum will be held in the Bluffton High School cafeteria at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1. The second will be held in the Beaufort High School cafeteria at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 2.
Participants at each forum will hear a presentation on the budget and have a chance to work in small groups to explore various areas of the budget. Participants will be able to share their discussions and suggestions.
“Input from our key stakeholders is an important part of the budget process,” said Superintendent Frank Rodriguez. “We look forward to hearing from our community members, parents, and employees at our public budget forums.”
The Board hopes to officially certify the district’s 2024-25 budget at its May 21 meeting. Beaufort County Council’s current timeline calls for three readings, with the third and final reading of the district’s budget taking place on June 24.
