The Board of Mayor and Aldermen have given final approval to the Millstone development off of Saundersville Road. The development, by Goodall Homes, will eventually have 600 units. Based on current trends, 1 of every 2 of those homes will have at least 1 school-aged child. That means 300 new students will be headed to the already crowded schools on the Station Camp campus.
The building of Burris Elementary on the campus of Knox Doss Middle School will alleviate some over-crowding at Station Camp Elementary, but it is not clear how Station Camp Middle and High Schools will handle the projected influx of students.
One possibility, as yet not considered by the School Board, is rezoning the area so more students now zoned for Station Camp attend Beech High School and either Knox Doss or Hunter Middle School.
