Aiken County Schools weigh capital project costs
At a Blue Ribbon Committee meeting the School Board discussed reducing capital improvements to lower costs. Dr. Joseph R. Brooks said certain additions like labs and auditoriums could be dropped, and staffing costs would rise only modestly since new schools would be staffed with teachers now in portable classrooms. The board has not voted to authorize a referendum or informed elections officials or the Justice Department.
