The Chattooga County Board of Education has announced two public hearings to gather community input on its proposed annual operating budget before final adoption later this month.

According to a public notice released by the school system, the first budget hearing will be held on Thursday, June 12, at 7:30 p.m. The second hearing is scheduled for Thursday, June 18, at 5 p.m.

Both meetings will take place at the Chattooga County Education Center, located at 206 Penn Street in Summerville.

School officials say the hearings are intended to provide residents with an opportunity to review the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget and offer comments before the Board of Education takes final action on the spending plan.

The Board is expected to adopt the budget following the second public hearing on June 18.

A copy of the proposed budget is available for public review on the Chattooga County School District website at chattooga.k12.ga.us.
