Columbia County School Board Meeting - June 9, 2026

The Columbia County School Board held a meeting on June 9, 2026, primarily focused on recognizing student athletic achievements and honoring long-serving educators.

Financial updates were provided, highlighting a projected enrollment decline of over 400 students for the next year, a slight budget reduction of about $100,000 due to decreased class size and transportation costs, and challenges related to scholarship funding and tax collections.
