Randolph and Hancock County school districts plan closures and cuts due to financial strain, despite budget improvements.
The Randolph County Board of Education voted to close Coalton and Midland elementary schools in November 2025, citing infrastructure, enrollment, and long-term funding issues despite a newly balanced 2026 budget.
The decision followed earlier closures and a canceled public hearing on Pickens K-12.
In Hancock County, the school board terminated finance director Joe Campinelli over fiscal concerns, including a likely deficit in 2024-2025, delayed state reports, and declining enrollment.
The district, now in "Needs Assistance" status, is restructuring finances, planning personnel cuts, delaying major purchases, and may close schools by February 29, with support from state education officials.
