RCSS gives update on its Long-Range Facilities Master Plan
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – The Richmond County School System is providing an update on progress relating to its Long-Range Facilities Master Plan this semester. 'As the district continues to assess future needs, there will be no changes to school buildings or facilities during the spring 2025 semester,' a statement released Feb. 28 reads. 'Conversations about facility planning will resume later this summer and fall, and the district encourages all stakeholders to participate.' In February 2024, school system officials released a draft of recommendations for the master plan, before the 1st phase was approved in March 2024. Dr. Malinda Cobb, Interim Superintendent of Schools, also released the following statement: 'We want our families and staff to feel settled about the state of our schools as we conclude the academic year, allowing us to maintain a strong focus on academic excellence and student success. At the same time, we know that to provide high-quality educational opportunities while being fiscally responsible, we must make thoughtful decisions about how we use our resources. Last spring, we received valuable feedback from our community on our proposed five-year consolidation plan, and we remain committed to ensuring those voices guide our next steps.' According to the school district, they plan to host public information meetings in the coming months concerning the plan.
