Area 1 Rezoning Plans Face Board Review At Meeting
The Aiken County Board of Education will meet tomorrow at 7 to discuss overcrowding and rezoning. Area 1 enrollment rose 3 percent to 7,162 from 6,912 in 1984-85, with two schools expanding into a new Aiken Elementary in April. The Advisory Council proposes moving fewer than 100 students, transferring 64 from Millbrook to Redcliffe for 1986-87, and presenting a plan by April 8 with a final report before Jan 1, 1987. An annexation of 37.47 acres around the new school is also under discussion to improve protection and property values. A change order at Nort Elementary estimated at 5 345 dollars funds site work from contingency.
