Hilton Head Christian Academy may stop serving as polling place; staff to seek replacements
Summary
Director reported polling‑place surveys are 96% complete and that Hilton Head Christian Academy — added as a polling location in 2024 — has indicated it may not continue hosting voters; staff will follow up and identify alternate locations for affected precincts (4B, 4E).
Director Chris reported polling‑place surveys are 96% complete and identified three locations not yet surveyed. She said the Thomas E. Barnwell building is under renovation and may be unavailable. More notably, Hilton Head Christian Academy — recruited as a polling site in 2024 — has informed staff it did not expect the arrangement to be permanent and is uncomfortable hosting potential election‑day turnout while students are on campus.
Chris said staff will meet with the academy before any final decisions and will identify replacement sites for the two precincts currently assigned there (referred to in the transcript as 4B and 4E). The board asked staff to continue outreach to confirm site availability and to plan alternatives to avoid last‑minute disruptions.
