Additions to

Fayette County schools currently under construction won't hold up any

of Fayette's school openings this year, said Fred Oliver, assistant superintendent

of operations.

Three schools

are under renovation, he said.

"The additions

will not impede the opening of school," he said. "The additions

to existing schools will open sometime in the next school year."

Bids were received

in May for work on the Booth Middle School and clearing has been completed.

Demolition has begun at Fayette Middle School and the foundation work

is underway.

Grading, demolition,

septic system and steel and roof deck are completed at Whitewater Middle

School and exterior brickwork is nearing completion.

Clearing and

grading for a new elementary school on Hiatt Road is expected to begin

this month and clearing on a new elementary school on Ga. Highway 85 south

is also expected to begin this month.
