Hopeful that state funding will be approved, the Effingham County Board of Education is moving forward with its plans to renovate South Effingham Elementary School. The school board unanimously approved Statesboro-based Pope Construction Company as the construction manager for the estimated $2.1 million upgrade to SEES. The project will be “very fast-paced,” said Effingham County Schools Superintendent Randy Shearouse. Pope Construction will have roughly two months to complete the work, between the May 23 last day of classes and the Aug. 6 start of the new school year.
