ALBANY, GA --
The Finance and Personnel Committee for the Dougherty County School System met Tuesday.

School Board members were updated on the yearly budget; so far the system has spent one point two million dollars under the estimated budget.

On the personnel front, seven teachers in the system will retire this year and the board says they will need to start recruiting to fill those positions.

The school system is also catching up on an administrative task because for the past two years, the Human Resources department forgot to finger print new employees.

“It's a state requirement for all new staff in the system, we do both a Georgia check and a FBI check to make sure we don't have any of the inappropriate people in our school system,” said Robert Lloyd of the Dougherty County School System.

The committee also discussed drafting a fraud policy that the state has asked all schools to implement.
