The Caswell County Board of Education hosted a field trip on Monday, March 30 for the County's Board of Commissioners.

The two boards met during a special, called meeting to discuss the $18.8 million Needs Based Grant awarded for renovations at Oakwood Elementary School and consider capital improvement needs at the Civic Center and Bartlett Yancey's East Wing.

The meeting included a tour of school facilities before the two Boards met back at Central Office for discussion.
