South Effingham Elementary School will soon get a facelift — as long as the Effingham County School System receives funding it’s entitled to from the state. The Effingham County Board of Education has sent a capital outlay application to the Georgia Department of Education, requesting $1.26 million in state funds to renovate SEES. “We feel it’s time that we made some much-needed renovations there, and the state has dollars that we can acquire,” Superintendent Randy Shearouse said. “We certainly want to take advantage of all the state dollars that we can.”
