FCSD3 BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES 2012-2013 BUDGET

The Florence County School District Three Board of Trustees gave second and final reading to the 2012-2013 during its regular monthly meeting Thursday, May 10.

The $22,339,293 balanced budget includes a 5.8 mil tax increase as well as deep spending cuts.

District superintendent Dr. V. Keith Callicutt said the district will make every effort to place those employees affected by the reductions into positions that become vacant as a result of more retirements and resignations as the end of the school year draws closer.
