No request from Clarke BOE

Clarke County Board of Education member John Knight said, to his knowledge, there has been no request of funding or discussion of a request for supplementary funding from the Athens-Clarke County Commission ...

We are doing what we have to do to handle the drastic education cuts that (Gov. Sonny) Purdue has mandated, and no request of funds has been or will be made.

Knight, who is chairing a finance committee meeting for the Clarke County BOE today at 5:30 p.m., said the mandated cuts from the state have dramatically affected their services, noting that they're fearing having to face a cut of 10 to 15 percent in the coming year. Still, as he pointed out, there isn't any plan to seek support from the commission.
