Lynchburg City Schools has approved a plan to close T.C. Miller Elementary and repurpose it as a pre-K center, marking the start of a four-phase facilities overhaul. The move comes amid tight budgets, public opposition, and declining enrollment. Meanwhile, the division’s search for a new superintendent has been delayed, with officials requesting a 180-day extension as they aim to name a finalist by mid-May and meet a July 1 start date.
