For the 2012-13 school year, officials expect 387 more elementary pupils, 56 fewer than the current year, 213 more in middle schools and 387 more high-schoolers.

“We’re clearly experiencing a decline in the birth rate,” Superintendent Charles Nagle told the board Tuesday, regarding an uncharacteristic decline in elementary enrollment.

What was billed as an acoustic performance turned electric in more ways than one when Lady Antebellum took the stage Friday in a new Evans venue named in their honor.

The band, featuring Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood, performed an hour-long set at the Lady Antebellum Pavilion in Evans Town Center Park.

The weather forcast for tonight's Lady Antebellum concert in Evans has shown slight improvement from previous forecasts, but cooler, wetter weather is still expected.

The bad news is that the National Weather Service has increased the chance of “light” rain for Friday evening to 70 percent; the good news is that the rain isn't likely to start until after 8 p.m., and temperatures will be slightly warmer than had been expected.
