Oconee County Schools Federal Funds Budget, With Sharp Drop In Fiscal Year 2027, Provides Money For Literacy Coaches, Nutrition

***School Nutrition Program Will Require Infusion Of Funding***

The Federal Funds Fiscal Year 2027 Budget for Oconee County Schools, which at $6.3 million is dwarfed by the $122.5 million General Fund Fiscal Year 2027 Budget, has played a slightly more prominent role than usual in budget discussions this year.

Chief Financial Officer Peter Adams told School Board Chair Michael Ransom at the first public hearing on the budgets on May 21 that Oconee County Schools will draw from the Fiscal Year 2027 Federal Funds Budget to hire two literary coaches for the system’s middle schools.
