DeKalb schools to hold budget hearings

Taxpayers and parents in DeKalb County can attend any of three upcoming hearings to learn what’s in store for next year’s school district budget, projected at $728 million.

Only two of the three hearings are scheduled so far with the third date to be announced soon. Both are at 6 p.m., the first Monday and the second on May 8. Both are at school district headquarters, 1701 Mountain Industrial Blvd., Stone Mountain.

The hearings will be televised on PDS-TV24 and streamed on the district website, www.dekalb.k12.ga.us. The district is taking comments by email: budget-feedback@fc.dekalb.k12.ga.us.
