The Fort Mill School District is now reviewing its elementary attendance areas to prepare for the opening of Sugar Creek Elementary and Pleasant Knoll Elementary in 2009. The process will take into account a number of considerations including enrollment, building capacity, demographics, transportation issues, transitions between schools, keeping neighborhoods together and creating an easily understood plan. A public meeting will be held in September to unveil reassignment options.

In the July school construction update both Sugar Creek and Pleasant Knoll elementary schools under construction are still on schedule to open August 2009.

Fort Mill School District Superintendent Keith Callicut wrote an update recently in the Fort Mill Times. Here is a summary of his school growth update.

Besides the two new Fort Mill School District elementary schools planned to open in the fall of 2009, the district is busy working on a plan to spend the money raised by the March 4th bond referendum that was passed. The Fort Mill School District is looking at the following areas for 3 new schools (2 elementary, 1 middle);

Possible Elementary School Locations:

• Massey home development area which is south west of Fort Mill.
• Tega Cay
• Sutton and I-77 near the planned York County Museum

Possible Middle School Location:

• An area near the southern part of the Springfield Parkway.

The district plans to finalize the sites and acquire the land for the 3 new schools by this June. By November 2008 a new “attendance plan”, I assume they mean redistricting, will be completed. The architectural firm has been identified to design the additional high school gym, new stadium, and the 3 new schools. The gym and stadium are planned for opening in the fall of 2009. The 3 new schools should open by 2011.

The State Education Department considers the Fort Mill School District to be the fastest growing school district in the state of South Carolina.Random Posts:

As I stated that was simply not true. In the post I mentioned therewill be 2 new elementray schools. Well the Fort Mill School District Board has approved names for the district’s newest elementary schools. The elementary located adjacent to Nation Ford High will be known as Sugar Creek Elementary.

Sugar Creek Elementary
Capacity – 900
Location – off Farm House Rd.
Adjacent to Nation Ford High

A second elementary now under
construction on Pleasant Road will be known as Pleasant Knoll
Elementary.

Pleasant Knoll Elementary
Capacity – 900
Location – Pleasant Road

Both schools will open in August of 2009.Random Posts:

The Fort Mill School District is rated 9 out of a high score of 10 by greatschools.net. See the ranking of each school on my Fort Mill Info page . One of the reasons those of us who have school age kids picked the Fort Mill or Tega Cay area to live is because of the great public school system.

Rumor has hit with a handful of neighboring Realtors® all Fort Mill Schools are now on a new enrollment freeze. This is absolutely not true!

Yes two elementary schools which are Gold Hill and Orchard Park are currently in a new enrollment freeze. New students will be enrolled in Riverview Elementary. The distirct will fill any available seats that may open over the summer.

New to the freeze list is Springfield Elementary. Any new students after June 2008 will be enrolled to Fort Mill Elemenrary.

I count only 3 schools in a freeze out of 10. That is hardly an all school district freeze. Two new elementary schools will open in the fall of 2009. In addition Nations Ford High School opened this last fall to relive the bulging enrollment at Fort Mill High School.

So those of you considering relocating to Fort Mill or Tega Cay rest assured your son or daughter will attend one of the highly rated schools in the Fort Mill District.

Are you surprised voters said yes to the school bonds Tuesday? I am not.

The Fort Mill Times reported:

Schools bonds approved in landslide… Slightly more than one-fifth (22 percent) of the 24,290 registered voters in the school district took part, casting a total of 5,150 ballots, according to election officials.

Last Tuesday phone calls and emails hit our house. The calls were from volunteers frantically calling registered voters and urging us to vote because of the low voter turnout. The second concern I heard was about voter age. Are the voters mainly senior citizens? Would this age group primarily vote no for the bonds since they are empty nesters?

To refresh your memory there were two bond referendums or questions on the ballot. One bond is for building a middle school, 2 elementary schools, and acquiring land for future school sites. The cost of bond 1 is $87 million. The second bond will build additional gyms at both high schools, and the completion of the stadium at Nation Ford High School. The first question passed with 4,155 yes votes. The second question passed with 3,880 yes votes.

This is good news in regards to supporting the healthy growth in our area. This is bad news for your pocket book. Oh, the price of progress.Random Posts:

Can girls play Lacrosse better than boys? The girls Fort Mill Yellow Jackets Lacrosse team motto is “Anything boys can do…girls can do better!”.

In the second year of the Fort Mill Lacrosse Club, A girl’s team has been added for 2008. Approximately 29 girls grades 6 through 12 have joined the club for the spring 2008 season. Volunteer moms Amy Katz, Minka Taylor, and Tracy Timony are coaching the lady Yellow Jackets Lacrosse team.

I found a few negative comments in http://www.city-data.com/forum/york-lancaster-counties/(an interesting forum if you have not looked at it yet). One forum participant wanted to know why the property taxes were lowered when the government turned right around and asked for more money. Another asked why two gyms need to be built. Why can’t the two high schools share one new complex like Rock Hill?

I say in all, the pro vote yes movement is strong. Another pro vote yes movement example is from the Gold Hill Elementary PTA newsletter called the Beeline. In the newsletter the editor used the old scare technique campaign. Below is the picture from the newsletter of a portable classroom trailer versus a bricks and mortar school building. Which building do you want your child going to school?

GHES PTA Co-President Lori Hillman had an article in the same newsletter urging us to vote yes. Lori states if the bond passes it will only add $55 per year in taxes per $100,000 assessed home value. Lori is hard at work for the bond. I have seen Lori out personally posting support our schools real estate signs.

I hate taxes. I personally think it won’t be too long before we will have to dig deep into our pockets again for another bond vote. But being a father of 3, I do want the best for our kids and neighbor kids. That’s one reason why we moved to the Fort Mill School District because of the strong school program. It’s the price we pay for progress and growth.

In case you haven’t figured out what side of the bond vote we are on, we have one of the support our schools signs in our front yard. My hope is the money is wisely invested. I wonder how folks without kids think about the bond?
