As always, I suggest getting out and getting involved. If you do not tell our elected officials how you feel, then you cannot complain when they make some bonehead decision! Anyway, the School Board for Oconee is having a public meeting about the possible locations of the new Walhalla High School.
So on November 10, 2009 at 6:00 pm, the School Board for Oconee County will be meeting at Walhalla High School to receive public input for possible locations of the new Walhalla High School.
The Office of School Operational Services announced today the sites under consideration.
· The west side of Hwy 11 near Pickett Post Road - This site is approximately 100 acres and will have road frontage on Hwy 11 and a right of way to Pickett Post Road.
· The east side of Hwy 11 across from Winstead Road - This site is approximately 130 acres and will have road frontage on Hwy 11 and Country Junction Road.
· The south side of Hwy 28 beside Bobby Wood Chevrolet - This site is approximately 96 acres and will have road frontage on Hwy 28 and Hwy 11.
All of these locations are approximately 3 miles of the current high school site.
The public will have an opportunity to comment at the November 10th meeting. There will also be a link to survey opinion on the WHS site location on the district’s website at www.oconee.k12.sc.us beginning November 10-17th and the survey will be available in hard copy form. Hard copies of the survey will be available upon request by contacting the Office of School and Community Services, 886-4400 ext 1103, 1123 or 1102.
