The sprawling oak tree that graces the lawn at Lanier Charter Career Academy at The Oaks will be taken down, Hall County school officials said Monday night. “We’ve been working with arborists over the past year and a half to see if there was anything we could do (to save it), but … it looks like the tree is just not going to make it,” Matt Cox, director of facilities, told the Hall Board of Education. “It’s looking very sad right now.”
