Fulton school board adopts $803 million budget (About $8,922 per student. Madison Spends $15,241 Per Student)

Gracie Bonds Staples:

The Fulton County Board of Education gave final approval Tuesday to a $803.1 million budget for the 2011 school year.

Although the district is still waiting on numbers from the tax assessor's office, the final tally was based on increasing the millage rate by 1 mill.

"This has been the must difficult budget year that I've ever seen," said Superintendent Cindy Loe.

The board is expected to tentatively adopt the millage rate at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the district's administrative center. It will then hold three public hearings: on July 6 at 11 a.m. at the administrative center and at 6 p.m. at Dunwoody Springs Elementary Charter School in Sandy Springs; and 10:30 a.m. July 15 at the administrative center.
