Parents of students at a pair of schools in the Lugoff-Elgin area can sound off on proposed changes in attendance areas.

Sessions will be at 6 p.m. Monday at Blaney Elementary and Feb. 4 at Doby’s Mill Elementary.

School officials plan to move about 260 students from Doby’s Mill to new classrooms at Blaney. A map on how the changes affected neighborhoods is online at www.kershaw.k12.sc.us.

School board members are expected to decide on the changes in late February.

In other district news, Kershaw County officials held public meetings Monday and Tuesday to talk with parents about a possible school closing, one option being studied to help the district deal with steep budget cuts.

Officials are studying to see how much could be saved by closing either Bethune Elementary, Mount Pisgah or Baron DeKalb Elementary.
