DeKalb school board calls meeting to vote on budget
The DeKalb County school board will meet Wednesday at 7 p.m. to vote on the budget for the upcoming school year.
The school board took a first, and unanimous, vote early this month on the budget, which adds new teachers and school safety officers, gives small across-the-board raises and returns students to a full, 180-day attendance calendar.
The expenditure on general operations for the 2014-15 fiscal year is pegged at $800,144,877.
