The Cobb Board of Education adopted the 2015-16 budget Thursday, including no tax increases and a four percent raise for all employees because of an expected $66.6 million revenue increase.
Other budget highlights include at least 100 new teachers, no teacher furlough days, raises for school nurses, coaching supplements and making all elementary school bookkeepers full-time.
Each eligible employee will receive an additional one step which equals about 1.5 percent.
A tax digest public hearing will be held in July, the district’s Chief Financial Officer Brad Johnson said.
The proposed budget projects total revenue of about $1.05 billion and expenditures of around $1.07 billion.
