OXFORD â Granville Countyâs school board has asked the County Commissioners to raise local spending in K-12 education by $758,591 in fiscal 2021-22.
Because charter schools that serve Granville County students get a cut of the local allocation, the increase would actually translate into an additional $584,115 for the Granville County Public Schools, district officials said.
System officials say the additional money would cover their estimate of the increased costs that come with state-mandated salary and benefit changes for teachers and other employees.
Board members approved the request on April 19. Member Tom Houlihan said that county leaders have âheard clearly the money that we need for personnelâ cost increases. They have made âno promisesâ about fully funding the systemâs request, but have yet to signal that it âainât going to happen.â

AJ 40 under 40: Common Ground

Originally set up as Croydon’s in-house architect, AJ 40 under 40 practice Common Ground is already working for others and likely to survive the council s current troubles
It has been a tough year for cash-strapped Croydon Council and, in turn, for its housing delivery arm Brick By Brick, the parent company of emerging practice Common Ground Architecture. Both may yet be sold by the bankrupt local authority. Whatever the outcome, it is likely Common Ground, a rare design collective bridging the private and public sectors, will survive in some form and its talented team will continue to be a significant player in this field.
