Kerry Arnold who lives on Newberry Lane near the dog park wrote a detailed comment to my post titled “Does Tega Cay Need 2 Dog Parks?”  I thought her comment was worth a post rather than just a comment to another post. Here is what Kerry wrote.

Larry Harper and George Sheppard were sworn in to their council seats at Monday Nights Tega Cay Council Meeting.

The first order of business was the possible annexation of Gold Hill Elementary and Middle school.

The schools will still be managed by the Fort Mill School District. (more…)
