GCPS Budget

Gwinnett County Public Schools engages in a five-month budget process that involves citizens and educators. The system's focus on teaching and learning is evident in its budget, shown by the fact that the vast majority of the General Fund goes toward instruction. Prior to the adoption of the budget, the school system holds numerous public hearings to engage parents, educators, and community members.
