Dance's Operating Budget Highlights Population Growth, Curriculum Changes

The school system superintendent is requesting a $1.3 billion operating budget—a $41.9 million increase from the previous year.

School system Superintendent Dallas Dance said much of his $1.3 billion fiscal year budget request is intended to fund the manpower needed to accommodate projected student population growth and curriculum changes. "Eighty-five percent [of the budget] will go toward people," Dance said. The request, which is a $41.9 million or 3.3 percent increase from the fiscal year 2013 request, was presented to the Board of Education during a Tuesday night meeting. The board will vote on the budget to present to county officials on February 5. The operating budget request is the first for Dance, who started his tenure in July 2012.

Assuming that most of these additional …   more ›
