SUMMARY: The Lamar County School District is attempting to pass a $117 million bond on November 5, after failing to do so in May. This bond aims to fund the construction of a new Summerall High School, O’Gro Middle School, Purvis High School, an office building at Oakgrove Elementary, and a multi-purpose building at Lumberton Elementary. Superintendent Dr. Steven Hampton addressed community concerns, the bond’s effect on taxes and school enrollment. Critics express worries about school locations and potential loss of enrollment, while supporters believe the bond could reduce overcrowding and promote economic growth in the county.
