Aiken County Board Approves $285M School Bond for Construction Projects
The Aiken County Board of Education recently approved $285 million in bonds to fund major school renovations.
The money will support essential updates at four schools — South Aiken High, Midland Valley High, Silver Bluff High, and North Augusta Middle. The plan includes building a new elementary school in Midland Valley.
The funding comes from a penny sales tax that residents strongly backed with 70% approval last November. The board can use these bonds either all at once or in phases.
Additionally, the board approved $1.7 million to install synthetic turf at three high schools, including Ridge Spring-Monetta. This money comes from a previous 2014 tax measure.
