***Revised 2009 – 2010 School Year Calendar
We continue to experience difficult economic times in Georgia and this has resulted in the Governor's recommendation for additional furlough days for school system employees. The Governor previously recommended three furlough days that were to be taken prior to December 31, 2009. In the Governor's FY 2010 Supplemental Budget and in the proposed FY 2011 budget, state funding (Quality Basic Education {QBE} funds) are being cut an additional 3.5% this year and 5% next year. This results in employees taking an additional four (4) furlough days before June 30, 2010. At a Special Called Board Meeting held on January 26, 2010 the Butts County Board of Education voted to implement the mandatory furlough days. These furlough days have made additional changes to the calendar for the upcoming school year necessary.
