The Effingham County School System is planning on a bigger budget for the coming fiscal year — but perhaps with a lower millage rate. Board of Education members were presented a proposed budget that will accounts for more than $94.2 million in revenues and nearly $97.1 million in expenses. Superintendent Randy Shearouse said he asked the school system’s departments to keep their spending increases to 5 percent, except for instructional services.
