At its May 31 meeting, the Budget Committee voted on the Hamblen County Schools budget, recommending a 5.1% or $3,495,000 increase in school funding for FY 2013 year. Despite the nearly $3.5 Million increase, the school system left that meeting upset because the nearly $3.5 Million increase is $272,000 shy of the increase that the school board wanted and expected.
After the May 31 committee vote on the school budget, Director of School Dale Lynch apparently met with County Mayor Bill Brittain and Finance Director Joey Barnard and appeared at the June 7 Hamblen Commission Budget Committee meeting (video above) to ask for another meeting/ work session with the Commission.
The joint meeting/work session will take place tonight at the Courthouse (Chancery Courtroom) at 6 PM.

I wonder what the unemployment rate for the public school system is? What? No layoffs at all?
The public sector really needs to wake up and realize unemployed people aren't getting 5% raises to continue to fund the public sector's pensions with.
