Budget outlook brightens for FCSD amid modest levy rise
FCSD projections show a 1.26 percent tax levy hike to a proposed total of 20.8 million, with about 1.6 million drawn from reserves and 2.2 million from other revenues. Officials highlight prior under-spending and a healthier reserve balance as signs of fiscal progress, while inviting public input as the May 16 budget vote approaches. The district consolidates polling places to Fulton War Memorial and plans to elect two board members, with Cordone seeking a fifth term and Briggs weighing options.
