Two more Schools in Bedford County are being eyed for closure as a means for the district to save about $1.6 million. Bedford County officials met with School board members on Thursday to discuss work planned, completed or underway as part of a recently released efficiency study. The item that creates the greatest savings, and listed by the district as a high priority—according to sources, is to close more schools. A decision already has been made to close Body Camp Elementary School after this school year—The News & Advance reports, a choice soon will likely be made between closing Bedford Primary and Thaxton Elementary schools. Tours of both schools are planned for next Thursday.
