The Cobb Board of Education is beginning the process for adopting the fiscal year 2023 budget, and will start holding public hearings next week. 
The first public hearing is scheduled for next Thursday, April 21, from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the board room of the Cobb County School District central office (514 Glover St., Marietta).
That’s before the board’s monthly business meeting at 7 p.m. The hearings also will be available for public comment on the district’s allocation of American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act funding.
Members of the public wishing to speak can do so at that time, and will be able to sign up between 6-6:25 p.m. Speakers will have between 1-5 minutes to speak, with time to be determined by the board chairman.
A tentative budget request is expected to be made to the board at a work session Thursday that starts at 2 p.m.
Agendas for the board work session and business meeting will be posted at this link early next week. The meetings also will be live-streamed on the district’s BoxCast channel and on CobbEdTV, Comcast Channel 24.
The board also will have an executive session between the meetings.
A second hearing on the proposed budget and ARPA funding will take place May 19, from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The Cobb school district’s current fiscal year 2022 budget is $1.5 billion.
