What stands out about how Siloam is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Greene County School District
Siloam’s K–12 school district, shared with Greensboro, Union Point, White Plains, Woodville. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $20,024 per pupil, $11,405 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Georgia districts overall: 49% local, 39% state, 12% federal.

Day-to-day spending is up 21% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Siloam reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $785 · 2023: $1,332. Per resident it went from $785 to $1,332 (up 70%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 275 to 196.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
