Welcome to Bibb County and Middle Georgia! The mission taken on by students, faculty, and administrators "is to provide a high quality education for all Bibb County students in a safe and comfortable environment, and to make use of all human and technological resources in preparing graduates for post-high school objectives."
Board Approves Millage Rate
At a Called Board Meeting on August 24, 2010, the Board of Education set the millage rate for Calendar Year 2010/Fiscal Year 2011 at 17.945, the same as the prior year.
This decision came after the tentative millage rate was adopted on August 5, an advertisement was placed in
The Telegraph and on the district's web site on August 10, and a Public Hearing was held prior to the Called Board Meeting.
The Public Hearing was not a requirement since the millage rate was not increasing. However, the Board and district held this hearing as an effort to provide an opportunity for increased community & stakeholder engagement in the process.
School Improvement Grants 1003 (g)
The Board was presented information on July 22 regarding the School Improvement Grant allocations and executive summaries approved by the GaDOE earlier this month. This information may be found on our website at www.bibb.k12.ga.us.
