James Monroe High School construction behind schedule
Eddie Lee Isom reports for the Daily Telegraph on the James Monroe High School project in Monroe County. Superintendent Lynng states plans aim to have the academic area open by Sept 1, with an earlier target of Nov 1 as a backup, as weather delayed the work. Contractors, including 14 masons, work to recover nearly two and a half weeks lost, with the $8.5 million facility serving students from Union and Peterstown high schools. The board may receive a recommendation later this month amid legal challenges over reopening procedures and principal appointment.
