School board
approves federal budget
When the Haywood County School Board met August 14, among other
business, members approved a federal budget of about 2.2 million dollars. These
funds, according to Director of Schools George Chapman, are really considered

took care of several items, but had to put off budget approval – because it
isn’t ready. Just like the city and county, the school’s budget cannot be set
until there is a state certified tax rate, and, according to Property Assessor
Dare Simpson, that has not yet been determined. Board members adjourned subject
to call when they can finalize the budget. We’ll let you know when we find out
that meeting has been set...more
