Atlanta Public Schools' budget will grow next year. The key questions are how much and how will it be paid for.
Last month, district officials put the gap between proposed spending and expected revenue at about $16 million.
That gap could be closed through spending cuts — or by raising the district's tax rate or using cash reserves.
The school district is holding a series of public meetings to explain the budget and get public input:
- Thursday, March 17; 6-7 p.m.; Sylvan Hills Middle School Auditorium; 1461 Sylvan Road, SW;
- Thursday, March 24; 6-7 p.m.; North Atlanta High School Auditorium; 4111 Northside Parkway, NW; and
- Thursday, March 31; 6-7 p.m.; Inman Middle School Auditorium; 774 Virginia Avenue, NE.
The school board is scheduled to hold a preliminary budget vote on April 11.
