Last week at the Clinton Board of Education meeting, board members heard from architects about a renovation to the high school cafeteria and kitchen.

Superintendent Curt Nettles indicates this was something that was talked about before the threats of the Clinton Power Station closing down became a possibility but it has not been revisited since. Last week, those discussions went to the next level when representatives from Cordogan and Clark presented possible plans for that space.

According to Nettles, there is a catch-22 in this circumstance. He says if they decide to move forward with the project, they face the possibility of not having the materials they need because of supply shortages but if they delay the project until supply chains have stabilized, they face the cost of the project going up.

Athletic Director Matt Koeppel has a particular interest in this project. Last week he told the Board of Education, currently, they use a small broom closet for the training room now. While it serves its purpose, Koeppel is eyeing transitioning an old, unused locker room into the training room.

Nettles reminds Cordigon and Clark were the architects of the new Clinton Elementary School.
