DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Dorchester School District Two wants to hear from parents and members of the community on next yearâs budget plans.
As district officials work to solidify budget plans for next year, they say several new plans are in the works. DD2 CFO Tina Meunier says the district will be hosting a public input session to discuss these plans at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Meunier says the district is looking at about a 10% increase in the number of teachers they typically hire. She says this is possible thanks to the emergency relief funding for elementary and secondary schools recently received from the federal government.
