Budget, Millage Rate, and ARP Plan
The Gainesville City School District operates on a fiscal year basis of July 1st through June 30th as prescribed by the State of Georgia, corresponding with the school year.
Prior to the adoption of the budget by the Board of Education, the school system holds numerous public hearings for community input. The public meeting dates and times are advertised in the local newspaper and on the district's website. The final annual budget for all funds and the millage rate for the upcoming fiscal year will normally be adopted by June 30th of each year.
Gainesville City Schools strives to ensure transparency and accuracy of financial information to the students, parents and citizens of the community we serve.
