SUMTER, SC - The work of consolidation Sumter County two districts of the school took a hook, as one of them seems to be in the future with a plan for the construction of an administrative building.
A group of concerned citizens, a judge to stop any work Sumter District 17, and the Department has to appear in court Thursday to explain its action.
Gov. Mark Sanford signed a bill to consolidate districts Sumter 2 and 17 in February. Both districts were combined by the summer of 2011. Sanford, and other supporters hope it is the first in a wave of consolidations in the South Carolina’s 85 school districts.
Sumter District 17, which looks like a ring geographically holes centered on the town of Sumter, in the planning of a new $ 5 million administrative buildings, consolidation preliminary bill passed, but construction had not begun.
Last week, crews began clearing trees on the ground, which at the request of an injunction, and the order in an account of the legislative authority, all construction projects in the amount at least 500000 dollars, by a special commission established to examine issues related to the consolidation of the district.
“Based on everything I have heard, people who came into contact with the District 17 board, they have said that the Board, and is, in principle, are rebelling against the consolidation of reply. C’est a very bad way of public service To make political choices, “said state Senator Phil Leventis, D-Sumter, is sponsoring the bill.
Officials in the District 2, and others have suggested that the circle administrative building could be expanded to district offices to another.
But District 17 School Board President Jo White said that the committee has never really changed his project to relocate or District 2 of the airport.
