Henry County school district releases financial report

Recent fiscal belt-tightening and lower expenses resulting from closed facilities appear to have resulted in some positive financial news for Henry County public schools, as reflected in the monthly report issued by district chief financial officer Christy Willis at the Board of Education’s April 20 study session.

Through March 31, the district has received 84.5 percent of its budgeted revenue for 2019-2020 while spending 74 percent of the budgeted amount. In dollars, revenue for the year so far is just over $344 million and expenditures total $299.6 million. More than $236 million was reported as cash on hand as of March 31.
