The Pearl River School District's new administration offices at 135 Crooked Hill Road will be open for the public to tour at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 10, before the first board of education meeting of 2012.

The Pearl River School District first board of education meeting of 2012 will be at a new time and place.

The meeting will be held at 8 p.m. at the administration's new location at 135 W. Crooked Hill Road, the former Africa Inland Mission property. Meetings have been held in Pirate Cove at Pearl River High School.

Most of the district adminstration completed its move in December. Pearl River's administration is now all in one location. The offices had been split among Pearl River High School and the Nauraushaun building at the corner of Orangeburg Rd. and Sickletown Rd. The following are now at the new location:

Voters in the Pearl River School District approved the $4.9 million bond to pay for the purchase of the new property and the conversion of the space at the high school into classrooms in 2010. The purchase was completed in December of that year. Read more about that here.

The property became available when the Africa Inland Mission decided to move its U.S. Headquarters from Pearl River, where it had been since 1969, to Peachtree, GA. The mission completed its move out of the Pearl River location in August as planned.

The district is still planning to sell the apartment complex that came as part of the 4.6-acre property.
