It was a very lengthy agenda for the Cherokee County Board of Education on Thursday with the majority of discussion centering on an update from the Cenergistic Energy Company.
Russell Jacoway, who serves as the company liaison for Cherokee County told the board that they have already seen sharp declines in utilities across the board in all five schools and in the months and years to come anticipates to see those figures improve even more.
Jacoway said that thus far the program has been a great success in Cherokee County and that’s due in large part to the cooperation of the faculty and staff at each school.
