Henry school board amends budget
A budget amendment was approved to allow needed purchases.
The Henry County Board of Education voted at its Nov. 13 regular meeting to approve a mid-year budget increase of approximately $3.77 million to meet a variety of needs. Among those discussed were pre-K expansion and increased staffing of substitute teachers.
The board also approved an updated policy on use of school facilities. The amended policy recognizes the addition of a second performing arts center in the district and also updates rental fees for both performing arts centers, according to officials.
Also approved was the purchase of just over $1 million in furniture for Birch Creek Elementary School, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2024.
