Fayette County will contribute $331,920 to SBA funding to consolidate elementary schools in the Oak Hill area (Oak Hill, Oak Hill East, and Scarbro). The elementary school is to be completed by the fall of 2008 and will be built on the Oak Hill High School campus.

Beginning in August 2006, Fayetteville schools will be reconfigured into a 7-12 high school and a K-6 elementary school. Fayetteville High will have four additional classrooms (two will be added and two will be renovated from the shop area). Fayetteville Elementary will have to use one of the buildings at Fayetteville Middle.
