Richmond County School Board members are scheduled to vote on revamping its schools, in the wake of an unstable economy. For the past few months, board members and Superintendent Doctor Bedden have been meeting about rightsizing. Under the plan, some schools would consolidate, and others would close. And, as the board prepares to make a decision, the rightsizing agenda is not sitting well with some parents and teachers. A vote on the plan was expected Tuesday night, but Dr. Bedden is now saying he’s not sure whether that vote will happen, Tuesday night. WJBF News Channel 6’s Fraendy Clervaud has more.

Right-sizing the efficiency of Augusta’s schools was the topic at an education conference. Statewide budget cuts are causing school systems across the board to get creative and slash school spending. School board members held a retreat this weekend to finalize right-sizing data and Monday afternoon Superintendent Doctor Dana Bedden talked about those plans. Count on our Fraendy Clervaud.
