The second of two public forums is scheduled for community members in northern Beaufort County to learn more about the school district budget being developed by the Beaufort County Board of Education for the 2024-25 school year.
The forum will be held in the Beaufort High School cafeteria at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 2.
Participants at the 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,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a news release. “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.
