On September 7, 2023, the Abbeville County School Board voted unanimously to authorize Interim Superintendent, Dr. Lori Brewton, to enter into a sales contract to purchase up to five acres of property adjacent to Dixie High School for no more than $250,000, exclusive of closing and surveying costs. The motion was made by Mr. Dunn and passed 7-0.
Board Chair, Tim Rhodes, commented that “the potential to purchase additional acreage at the Dixie High campus is an exciting prospect for the District given the growth that we are experiencing at that site. As the public knows, we are working with our current construction projects, which will alter existing property concepts drastically, creating new but exciting challenges for our school leaders and administration. After much consideration and deliberation, the Board unanimously decided to embark upon the purchase of this property to maximize our full potential for our students, keeping in mind safety precautions and logistical challenges. If the deal is finalized with the land owners, the Board will consider all options for the acreage. Right now, current construction does not contemplate its use, so we are wide open. The Board will take into consideration the needs of the school and priorities that take precedent for the school’s administration in the coming years. To put it plainly, we have many options to explore, and we are excited to embark on those endeavors with our administration. I am pleased that the Board came together last night to put our children first and plan ahead for the future.”
