East consolidation plan presented Monday night

Having decided to abandon the idea of creating a 6th Grade academy at Kings Bridge Middle School in a bid to relieve overcrowding at West Jackson Middle School, Jackson County School System leaders presented a totally new proposal Monday night that includes consolidating some school facilities on the East side. Among the ideas that are expected to be presented Monday night is a plan to move South Jackson Elementary School into the current Kings Bridge Middle School facility; consolidating KBMS 6th and 7th Graders into East Jackson Middle School; adding 8th Graders to East Jackson Comprehensive High School; and building a new wing onto West Jackson Intermediate School.
