After tabling a motion to demolish the old Portal Middle/High School gymnasium at the May 12 Bulloch County School Board meeting, members voted unanimously Thursday to proceed with a plan to tear down the gym. Members of the Portal community expressed concern at the May 12 meeting about mingling middle and high school students after a new gym is completed this summer. Portal City Council Member Jerry Lanigan said problems could arise from having middle school and high school age students in the same gym, locker rooms and bathrooms.
