The school calendar for 2001 and 2002 will be among topics the Fayette County Board of Education will discuss in a called session and work session Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the school board office.

For the complete agenda, phone the school board at 770-460-3535, or visit www.fcboe.org.

Fayette County will receive a grant from Georgia's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to buy and install a second early warning siren for severe weather.

Georgia Emergency Management Agency director Gary McConnell, acting on behalf of Gov. Roy Barnes, said the grant was approved by state agencies and submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for funding.

The county will be reimbursed $30,000 of an estimated $40,000 total cost.

The new siren will be on Robinson Court in Peachtree City, the second of several the county hopes to install as part of a long-term project to provide severe weather warnings for everyone in Fayette.

The push is on for Main Street Fayetteville's brick fund-raising project.

Main Street, an organization working to revitalize and improve downtown Fayetteville, offers to put any message you want on a brick and use that brick in its brick paving project for sidewalks around the Old Courthouse.

It's part of an overall project to put brick sidewalks all around the city's historic Courthouse Square.
