School board adopts $157 million budget

The Liberty County School System’s fiscal year 2026 budget will take effect in less than a week, and some school board members already are looking at the FY27 budget. Board members approved the $157 million spending plan in a 5-1 vote June 18. The school system’s budget calls for $154 million in revenues, and the $3 million gap in expenditures and revenues will be made up from operational reserves.
