Washington County school officials seek public comment on relief funds

Officials with Washington County Schools are holding community meetings this week to get input on how to spend new money from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. Jerry Boyd, the county’s director of schools, said his system is expected to receive $11.9 million in the latest round of allocations from the federal pandemic relief fund. “These funds may be used for one-time expenditures and should primarily focus on supporting students’ academic needs in order to accelerate learning after the COVID-19 pandemic,” Boyd said in a statement posted on the school system’s website at wcde.org. “These funds may be spent over the next three years.”

Washington County s new budget numbers at a glance

Washington County government’s new $73 million budget was passed last week, and includes a $44.9 million general fund budget balanced by moving money from capital projects and a variety of restricted and committed reserve accounts. County commissioners voted to erase a $3 million shortfall without taking dollars from the county’s $16 million general fund reserve. Washington County Mayor Joe Grandy said a policy endorsed by the commission requires the county to maintain a reserve amount equal to four months of spending in the budget. Grandy said dipping into general fund reserves would negatively impact the county’s financial and bond rating. Commissioners rejected an earlier plan to balance the general fund budget by taking $3 million in local option sales tax dollars that have been earmarked for city and county schools for more than 30 years.
