District administrators begin Transportation Facility land purchase negotiations

At its March 5, 2019 meeting, the Lexington County School District One Board of Trustees passed a motion that begins district administrators’ negotiations for the most advantageous land sites for a new district Transportation Facility.

This construction project is part of the district’s $365 million five-year building plan (2018–2023) approved by the voters on Nov. 6, 2018. At that time, Lexington District One residents, with more than 56% of the vote, voted for and passed a five-year building plan.

The building plan includes:

• updated safety and security systems at all district schools and facilities
• three new schools to replace old schools and increase student capacity
• two new elementary schools needed to accommodate student growth
• renovations, additions and/or upgrades to 14 elementary schools, five middle schools, five high schools, the district’s maintenance facility, technology center and community learning center
• a new district transportation facility and
• information technology equipment and furniture for Future-Ready Classrooms at all schools
