The McComb school board has instructed officials to get more information about a lot across from the high school that may be for sale.
At a March 16 meeting, trustee Dr. Alvin Burks said a City of McComb official contacted him about the possibility of the school district accepting a donation of the property at 722 Louisiana Ave.
