Merriwether residents press for a centrally located high school to reduce long bus rides to Strom Thurmond High. District officials cite $3.5 million in state bonds for the 1,000-student site and propose a two school or satellite option costing up to $22.1 million with annual costs. Community members warn of unequal funding and continued access issues, urging careful planning and possible charter or satellite solutions.
