The Rapides Parish School Board shared progress reports for the projects happening at Caroline Dormon Junior High and Carter C. Raymond Junior High.
The steel framing for the first phase of the new classroom wing is going up for Caroline Dormon Junior High. Once completed, all portable buildings will be removed from the campus, making way for the other half of the new classroom wing to begin construction.
At Carter C. Raymond Junior High, the Special Projects Team, led by Mr. Dotherow, has begun demolishing four buildings to create new green spaces for students to enjoy. Their hard work has saved the bond project around $250,000 by completing the demolition in-house and recycling the steel to maximize cost savings. Finally, CCRJR has a front vestibule to a secure entrance and limit access to the building.
