STORY 1: Cherokee School Board OKs Contract for Creekview High and Creekland Middle Expansions
The Cherokee County school board has approved a $50.5 million contract with McKnight Construction to build new classrooms and an auxiliary gym at Creekview High School and Creekland Middle School. The project includes 20 additional classrooms for Creekland Middle and 16 classrooms along with a new gym for Creekview. Funding for the project comes from the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Construction is set to commence this fall, with the new classrooms and gym expected to be completed by August 2025. This expansion will provide additional classroom space to accommodate the growing population in the area.

STORY 4: Former Trump Lawyer Pleads Guilty in Georgia Election Subversion Case
Attorney Kenneth Chesebro has pleaded guilty in Fulton County Superior Court to participating in an attempt to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election results. Chesebro confessed to working with then-President Donald Trump to recruit Georgia Republicans as "fake" electors who falsely asserted Trump's victory in Georgia. He pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents. Under the plea agreement, he will serve five years of probation, pay $5,000 in restitution, complete 100 hours of community service, write an apology letter to Georgia citizens, and testify truthfully at future court hearings. Sidney Powell, another former lawyer for the Trump campaign, pleaded guilty to related charges earlier. A 41-count indictment charges Trump and 18 co-defendants under Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act with conspiring to overturn election results.
STORY 5: Cherokee County Leaders Approve Changes to Noise Ordinance
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has voted to adopt amendments to the county's noise ordinance, including extending quiet hours. Quiet hours for enumerated acts, including motor vehicle horns, auto racing, and loudspeakers on vehicles, will now be from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily, 11 p.m. Saturday to 1 p.m. Sunday, and 6:30 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday. Construction activity will be restricted to quiet hours from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. seven days a week, with an after-hours permit available under certain criteria. The use of speakers at outdoor riding arenas will be allowed until 7 p.m., facing inward to the arena and no less than 500 feet from residential areas.
