Despite a needed project at Clinton High School being much more expensive than anticipated, the Board of Education will move forward with it.

Superintendent Curt Nettles indicates the high school kitchen has needed to be renovated for several years now and despite only having one bidder on the project and the cost being well north of what they had hoped, they will embark on the project.

Nettles explains the kitchen funds are coming from the Government's COVID dollars that streamed in during the pandemic. He credits Assistant Superintendent Drew Goebel for writing all the grants from that money.

The Clinton Board of Education continues to work on its grand facilities plan. We'll hear more from Nettles on that later this week on Regional Radio.
