Petruzielo and members of his staff and School Board Chair Janet Read. Chapman’s fifth- and sixth-grade model, which opened for the 2000-01 school year, was a community-based solution to …

The school will host a legacy celebration Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at its facility near Etowah High School.
As the Chapman Intermediate School prepares for its final weeks inside their facility, the community will soon honor the school's legacy with a celebration.

The school board will consider approving the recommendations next month.
Fifth-grade classes should be added to Bascomb, Boston and Oak Grove Elementary Schools. That's the recommendation voiced by Cherokee County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Frank Petruzielo to the Cherokee County School Board on Thursday. The superintendent announced the recommendation during the public input hearing the board held for parents to give feed back on the district's annual boundary reconfiguration process.

A larger E.T. Booth Middle School would have a sixth- though eighth-grade model.
A larger middle school could translate into three elementary schools in the southwest corner of Cherokee County adding fifth-grade classes. Parents of students who attend Bascomb Elementary School in Towne Lake were presented with this possibility by Cherokee County School District officials during its annual boundary focus group meeting on Tuesday. District staff met with parents of E.T. Booth and Chapman Intermediate on Monday at Etowah High School. A new Booth facility, with a capacity of 1,500, is slated to open in August and the district would like for the facility to encompass grades sixth through eighth. That would mean rising fourth-grade students Boston, Bascomb and Oak Grove Elementary would attend fifth-grade at their …
