The Richmond County Board of Education (RCBOE) officially approved its 2026 long-range facilities master plan at a called board meeting on Monday.
Nine of the board’s 10 members were present at the meeting on Feb. 23, and the plan required a majority vote to pass.
“We are happy that after the public hearings and listening to the community in reference to how they felt about right-sizing, we were able to make some slight pivots in the plan,” said RCBOE President Shawnda Stovall. “Overall, this plan is moving forward, and we are excited about the school system that we have in place today, but we are even more excited about the school system of the future.”
