On a 7-1 vote with Chairman James Smith absent, the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees approved a resolution for the issuance and sale of not more than $25.5 million in general obligation bonds to be used to pay for the construction of a new consolidated elementary school at its Tuesday night meeting. Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Chief Financial Officer Donnie Wilson said issuing the bonds will not require a tax or millage increase and the bonds should be retired in two years.
