North Shelby School sale still in the works
The Cleveland County Board of Education decided last week to resume efforts to sell the former North Shelby School property on Northside Drive to Mt. Calvary Baptist Church.
The property has been empty and unused since the 2018 opening of the current North Shelby location on Charles Road. In offering to buy the property Mt. Calvary said it hopes to turn the school into a community life center, hosting church and community-sponsored events.
The school board revisited the topic of the former property sale at the request of board member Danny Blanton, who has asked multiple times over the last year for the district to complete the sale.
