Edgefield Plight To Be Discussed
Residents of Merriweather and Sweetwater communities will meet the Edgefield Board of Education tomorrow at 7 30 p m in the Sweetwater Community Center to discuss the school situation. Parents seek acceptance of a prior Aiken County School Board offer to extend a two year contract allowing Edgefield County students to attend North Augusta schools. Edgefield County recently rejected the proposal. The request to include Merriweather and Sweetwater in the Aiken County School District was turned down by Aiken County’s School Board. Last November voters defeated a referendum to fund a Merriweathie elementary school. About one third of Edgefield County children studied in nearby counties during 1970 71. Edgefield has one high school and two elementary schools. a private Edgefield school serves many white students. Last week parents of 258 affected children received a letter from Aiken District Superintendent Dr G T Myers stating their children could not be admitted for 1971 72.
