Preparing our Schools for our Future
Community Conversation: Dale Cole, Superintendent, Brunswick County Schools
Brunswick County is the sixth fastest growing County in the United States. And, as our County grows, so do the number of children who are attending our public schools. A recent news article in the Brunswick Beacon reported that the number of students attending Brunswick County Schools (BCS) is expected to grow by 42% over the next decade - nearly 6,000 students.
This November residents will have the opportunity to vote on a proposed bond that provides BCS with the funding necessary to build a new elementary school (just north of Brunswick Forest) and new High School between Leland and Winnabow to meet student population growth. Additionally funds will be used for various upgrades at schools including intercom and wiring upgrades, bleacher upgrades and site development for future schools. You can read more on the BCS web page dedicated to the bond proposal.
To discuss the needs of BCS we were pleased to talk with Dale Cole the Superintendent of Schools.
