At a special meeting on May 19, the Rutherford County Board of Education voted to reduce its Local Current Expense (LCE) budget request for 2025–26, cutting nearly $1.5 million from the county manager’s proposal and scaling back its own earlier ask. I livestreamed the meeting on Facebook for Cops & Congress subscribers, and due to spotty internet in the room, the official recording is also being shared here. (Facebook will auto-delete them after 30 days, I’ve included copies of both for archival purposes - watch part 1 here and part 2 here.)
