Lexington Richland District 5 Board Approves Controversial New School Plan in Chapin
COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– The Lexington Richland District 5 School Board Motion passed 6-1 to purchase land for new school on Amick’s Ferry Road.
The vote came after a nearly three hour meeting Monday, where hundreds of community members spoke out against the plan.
Opponents say the newly proposed school would be a traffic and safety issue for students on Amick’s Ferry road.
The District Superintendent addressed the crowd telling them a traffic study was done and safety will not be an issue.
