CES prepares for school start Monday 8 Aug 2016

By Calen Mckinney

Campbellsville Elementary School teachers and administrators are working hard to prepare for the new school year, which is set to begin on Monday, Aug. 8. Because of ongoing construction at the school, teachers weren’t allowed in the building until all inspections were complete. After gaining access to the building on Tuesday, Aug. 2, CES personnel began cleaning, organizing and setting up their offices and classrooms.



Ground was broken for the CES renovation project in a special ceremony in March, and contractors began working on the construction full time after the 2015-2016 school year ended. Construction is set to be finished in about 10 months.

Renovations planned at CES include the addition of four new classrooms, a new HVAC unit, a fire suppression system, interior finishes, new kitchen and cafeteria, new restrooms, renovation of existing classrooms, a new playground for preschool students and work to administrative suites, parking areas and the front façade.

Once renovations are complete at CES, and then later at CMS, all fourth and fifth grade students will be housed at CES, making it a more traditional elementary school, and the CMS building will better suit the needs of a middle school.

The CES project will cost about $9.7 million.
