What Plan A also covers
Besides a new school at Keowee, long-range Plan A includes another new school building: this one, to replace Westminster Elementary. At this point, the district estimates each of the new schools, Keowee and Westminster, will cost $35 million. Plan A calls for additions at James Brown Elementary and Orchard Park Elementary, along with what’s called “critical maintenance” at several schools countywide. But Plan A is no immediate panacea. It’ll take until 2032 to finish it all.
