A two year effort by a citizens advisory committee proposes a building improvement program costing 56.6 million for Charleston area schools. About 20 million would come from the state Better School Buildings Amendment with the rest financed by the county. The plan envisions upgrading schools, closing or consolidating some, and a new high school on Charleston's East Side. Voters' support is uncertain amid ongoing textbook controls, so a poll surveyed roughly 300 residents on bond feasibility.
