Wayne County Schools to get $18 Million for Schools Projects if Bond Passes

Wayne County Schools could get millions of dollars for new schools, if voters approve a school bond next month.

The School Building Authority approved a plan Monday to give Wayne County $18M to help the county replace Crum and Ceredo-Kenova schools. Under the plan, the county would build a new Crum Pre-K through 8th grade school and a Ceredo-Kenova Pre-K through 5th Grade school.

SBA Officials say the county would get the money over two years.

If the bond passes May 13, the county would get $8M the first year, then $10M the next year. The SBA money would match the $18M that would be generated from the county's school bond.

If the bond passes next month, the SBA money will be available in July.
