PITTSBORO - The Chatham County Board of Education says the 94 acres it owns in northeast Chatham may not be suitable for a new high school.
The site lacks water and sewer service, traffic in the area is already congested, and the environmental impact on the surrounding wetlands may be too great, the board says.
The school board presented its case to the county Board of Commissioners on Monday night during their first joint meeting of the year. The commissioners told the school board its plans need to be set in the next six to seven months because the fast-growing county needs the new school.
