Sandy Creek

High School Principal Charles Warr, Ph.D., will replace Gary Phillips

at Fayette County High School.

The Board of

Education Tuesday approved the switch along with formally accepting Phillips'

resignation. The board will advertise to find a replacement for Warr at

Sandy Creek.

Also approved

was the resignation of Fayette Community School director Jim Pittman,

who is leaving the county system to head up the CARE (Children at Risk

in Education) program for the region around Fayette.

In addition

to the personnel changes, the board approved a bid for construction of

the Cleveland Elementary School on Old Norton Road off Ga. Highway 54

west, and for additions to two middle schools.

Arco Builders

Inc. will build the new elementary school for $7.1 million. Construction

is expected to start in early July.

Ricks Contractors

Inc. won the bid to build an addition to Fayette Middle School for $2.1

million, and Leslie Contracting Inc. will build the addition to J.C. Booth

Middle for $2.25 million.

The projects

are included in the school board's recently approved $65 million construction

bond referendum.
