Russell County school board approves 2026–2027 budget aligned with supervisors’ allocation
Summary
The Russell County Public Schools board voted to adopt its 2026–2027 budget, which the board was told matches the Board of Supervisors’ budget approved the night before; the motion passed by voice vote and the transcript does not record a dollar total or roll-call tally.
The Russell County Public Schools board voted to approve its 2026–2027 budget after Superintendent Dr. Hooker told the board the proposed budget "has been approved with equal to the board of supervisors budget that was approved last night." Dr. Hooker introduced the budget for approval and the board moved forward with the item.
Mr. Eaton moved "I make a motion we approve our budget," and Mr. Ball seconded the motion. The board approved the budget by voice vote; the transcript does not include a dollar amount for the budget or a roll-call tally.
The adoption aligns the school system’s spending plan with the Board of Supervisors’ allocation approved the previous night, according to the statement read into the record. The board did not read specific line-item numbers or program-by-program allocations during the meeting minutes in the transcript.
The board set its next regular meeting for Tuesday, July 14, with executive session at 5:00 p.m. and the regular meeting at 6:30 p.m.
