County Council, school board to discuss schools’ budget, impact fees today. How to watch
Members of the Beaufort County Council and Board of Education will have a joint meeting Friday at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the school district’s budget, impact fees and fiscal autonomy.
The school board discussed impact fees, which could raise the price of building homes south of the Broad by thousands of dollars, in December.
The county council must approve the school district’s budget every year, though the school board has raised the possibility of keeping spending at current levels until more is known about the budgetary impacts of coronavirus.
The meeting will stream live on the county’s Facebook page. Residents can email public comments to the council clerk at sbrock@bcgov.net or comment on the Facebook livestream.
