Commissioners set March 25 budget work session with school board to review 2026–27 request
Summary
Wilkes County commissioners scheduled a public Budget Work Session for March 25 to meet with the Wilkes County Board of Education and staff to discuss the 2026–2027 school budget request as part of county budget planning.
Chairman Hardin Kennedy told the Board he arranged a Budget Work Session to allow all five county commissioners and the School Board to discuss the Wilkes County Schools’ 2026–27 budget request together; he said the meeting would allow stakeholders to sit down and discuss priorities. Commissioner Casey Johnson moved to set the session for Wednesday, March 25 at 3:00 P.M. in the Commissioners' Meeting Room; the motion passed unanimously.
County Attorney Tony Triplett noted the session is a budget work session and not a formal joint meeting; both the county and the School Board should publish notices for the meeting. The Board emphasized the session would be open to the public and intended to clarify school budget requests as the county prepares its proposed budget.
