Franklin Elementary, Central Middle School celebrate with ribbon cuttings | Events

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - Two ribbon cuttings Friday, October 19  at Franklin Elementary and Central Middle School marked the completion of two more projects of the 2010 bond issue.

The school district says additional space provides office and conference areas. Other upgrades at CMS include a new boiler, temperature controls, new safety railing on the main stairs, security cameras, exterior security doors, fire alarm enhancements and additional parking.

The bond issue provided for improvements at eight of the District’s ten campuses. One final project, the Richard D. Kinder Performance Hall at Central High School, is scheduled for completion late this winter.
