The Bermudian Springs School Board unanimously adopted a preliminary budget for the 2021-22 school year that will require the district to dip into its reserves for a second year in a row.
The tentative budget calls for a 4.1 percent property tax increase, the maximum allowed by the Act I Index, but that percentage may be reduced or eliminated by the time the budget is finalized in June.
âKeep in mind itâs a preliminary budget. Whatever we establish, we cannot go up, we can only go down,â said Board President Michael Wool. âWeâve always adopted the index as the preliminary, but there have been a number of years we have not gone to the index.â

When Tropical Storm Zeta rolled through Georgia in October 2020, many residents woke to power outages, downed trees and other signs of storm damage. Despite the disruption and the storm Gwinnett County Public Schools stayed in session, with the district leveraging its remote learning capability to continue instruction.
Looking ahead, school system officials in Gwinnett say virtual learning could make the old-fashioned snow day obsolete. “Having the option of holding a digital learning day certainly does provide the district with some flexibility,” says Sloan Roach, executive director of communication and media relations for the district. Technology provides schools with the opportunity to make these decisions quicker and navigate challenges more efficiently.
