GAINESVILLE - The Hall County Board of Education unanimously approved a budget for the upcoming fiscal year as well as increased the county's millage rate at their meeting held Monday night.
According to Hall County School Superintendent Will Schofield, the newly-approved budget allots for 186 total teacher contract days, with 176 of those days being spent in the classroom with students.
The 10 remaining days are allocated as personal learning days that teachers can use to prepare their lesson plans.
