Sale of Bibb Elementary, naming of football field on school board agenda for Tuesday
A contract agreement for the sale of the former Bibb Elementary School will be on the agenda when the Muscogee County School Board meets Tuesday night.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Muscogee County Public Education Center on Macon Road.
According to the agenda, the price of the agreement between the school district and Earl T. Davis is $15,000.
The building located at 96 40th Street was built in 1915. It was shuttered in 2001 and has fallen into deep disrepair. The roof has collapsed and rain has severely damaged much of the interior.
In other business:
▪ The board will vote on a request from East Columbus Magnet Academy to name its football field after a former instructor John “Pepper” Spurlock Jr.
