A major improvement is coming to Oak Grove Elementary this school year for students, staff and the community.
The safety of students, staff and all who visit a public school is a top priority for the Fayette County Public School System. The school system also works hard to be a good neighbor in the communities where its schools are located.
Two years ago, due to traffic concerns with student drop off at Oak Grove Elementary, the school system flipped the school bus loop so that buses would enter and exit from Crosstown Road instead of Log House Road. Now, in order to separate the bus loop from the front of the school, and to increase safety for both students and visitors entering and exiting the school, the entrance to Oak Grove is being flipped from Crosstown Road to Log House Road.
The parking lot is being reconfigured to make it parallel to Log House Road, now the front entrance of the school. Once finished, the new parking lot will feature islands in which trees will be planted.
Construction on the parking lot will be completed by August 2019.
