Budget cuts on Aiken County School Board meeting agenda
A $1.4 million reduction plan is set for the Aiken County Board of Education meeting at 7 p.m. at A.L. Corbett Middle School in Wagener. The plan, drafted by Comptroller Larry Clark, targets athletic and band matching funds, emergency and instructional support, and salaries for staff tied to a proposed Rien 1 elementary school. A policy revision would allow access to disciplinary records for transfer students amid rising school violence. A 13 member safety committee will present findings on incidents at games, and the five year facilities plan includes resizing Rien 1 and a new middle school with construction to begin in 15 years under the proposed law.
