The Tallassee Board of Education approved a plan for a new parking area at Tallassee High School during its June 4 meeting and work is scheduled to begin by July 1, superintendent Wade Shipman said.
According to the plans, portions of King and Preer streets, which run adjacent to the high school, will be rerouted to create a large parking area for students and alleviate congestion on those streets where students currently park and walk to class.
