MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County Schools board approved a new budget for the upcoming school year Tuesday night.
This year, the district is asking the county for less money, as it approved a more than $1 billion budget for the state’s largest school district.
Increased pre-K education is a priority this year. The budget also has a 2.5% pay raise for teachers.
The budget will be presented to county leaders for approval Wednesday morning.
