Gibson Co. school officials consider new Medina elementary

GIBSON COUNTY, Tenn. — Schools system leaders are weighing options on how to best accommodate the growth of Medina’s schools, including the possibility of a new elementary.

The Gibson County Special School District will meet Thursday at the Yorkville School Library and could vote on a decision.

During the district’s Jan. 7 public meeting, school officials discussed options including adding to the current Medina Elementary School site or even abandoning it completely and building a new facility.

Medina area schools have grown 32 percent since 2010, while the total system has grown 10 percent, according to materials presented during the meeting.
