Aiken County school board to seek 90 million bond for six projects
The Aiken County School Board votes to place a May 1 bond referendum to fund six building projects including expansions at Midland Valley High and new wings at Millbrook Hammond Hill and Belvedere Elementary schools plus a new elementary and middle school between Graniteville and North Augusta. Officials cite overcrowding growth and security needs with estimated tax impacts of 20 to 30 dollars annually per 100 000 home value. The plan aims to address urgent facility needs rather than wait until fall.
