The Anderson County Commission voted at its March 12 meeting to hold a work session with school and county officials to discuss the sale and future of the current school property at 2118 Claxton Highway. A date for the work session has not yet been set.
Meanwhile, construction continues at the future school site at 105 Fellowship Lane.
Board of Education member Jo Williams, who represents Claxton, told The Courier News that Anderson County Schools wants to finalize the sale of the current building by December. However, she and Anderson County Schools Assistant Director Kelly Myers said the school system will not be ready to move students out of the old building and into the new one until summer 2027.
