GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — It's Guilford County's biggest decision of the year:how to spend your tax dollars. Thursday night, they approved the $627 million budget.
Half of the budget goes towards education, that's more than $312 million to public education, including community colleges. Break it down further, and $206 million will go to Guilford County Schools. That's $6 million dollars less than the district asked for to pay for pay increases, teacher supplements, and maintenance of school buildings, but it's still more than they got last year.
