Fort Mill schools begin August 20, 2008. Many of you have been asking questions about an update to the elementary school enrollment freeze. Here is what is mentioned on the Fort Mill School District website:

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. (more…)
