Close

Broughtentown had its own elementary school until 1994, when the county school board closed the building after its septic tank system failed.[3] While the initial closure was described as temporary, the board voted to permanently close the school the following year.[4] The community also has a fire station, which has doubled as a polling place for the local election precinct.[5]
