THOMASTON-UPSON BOE PUBLIC HEARING ON BUDGET JUNE 10 6PM.

The FY2026 proposed all funds budget is $81.1 million in expenditures with estimated revenue of $72.1 million. Last year's all funds budget was $82.5 million total expenditures with $69.6 million in revenue. FY 2026 General Fund expenditures total a proposed $55.1M, an increase of $2.7M or 5.25% over the FY2025 budget. The major increase in the general fund expenditures is not due to salary increases (up $435K) but is due to state-mandated employer contribution increases (up $1.8 million). (With a state-mandated 7.1% increase in the employer state health insurance premium for certified employees and a 35.9% increase for classified employees, health insurance benefits are increasing a total of $1.8M or 21.42% from FY2025 totals.) Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!
