From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Wednesday, June 19th, and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Marietta School Board Passes Budget with Teacher Raises

In a groundbreaking decision, the Marietta Board of Education has unanimously passed its 2024-25 school year budget. Valued at $159 million, this budget includes an average 5.3% raise for all teaching staff. The district's CFO, Erin Franklin, emphasized that $9 million of the $11 million budget increase directly enhances employee salaries and benefits.

Board member Angela Orange expressed her satisfaction, noting the importance of keeping up with the cost of living while maintaining one of metro Atlanta’s lowest millage rates at 17.97. Fellow board member Jaillene Hunter highlighted the prioritization of employees in this year’s budget.

In addition to supporting teachers, the budget allocates funds for Science of Reading programs, general education staff, and increased costs like insurance and maintenance. This move signifies it’s strong commitment to both educators and students in the county.
