South Shelby Approves Upgrades

The South Shelby School District plans to upgrade both the lighting and parking lots around the high school and middle school. Superintendent Troy Clawson says the school board approved a bid by JT Holman last week to get the paving work done before school begins in the fall.

The board also approved a contract with Macon Electric to convert all of the middle school, high school, and parking lot lighting to LED.

Clawson says the district could save $15,000 to $20,000 a year on utility bills and equipment expenses with the conversion.
