The Christian County Board of Education received disheartening news tonight during their final meeting of the year.

After months of anticipation and promises to have the new Christian County Middle School ready and operational by the beginning of the new year, Codell Construction Manager Richard Mitchell told school board members the school is still not complete.

Board Chairman Barry Cornelius told Mitchell he was not happy with the progress.

Mitchell told school board members the delay is due to unforeseen last minute changes and additions to the school.                                           

In other business, the school approved a semi-professional football league and a baseball team to use the Stadium of Champions for events for next summer.

The school board also approved Christian County Schools to become a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, in order for the school district to receive recognition for achievements.

The next board of education meeting is scheduled for January 19^th at 6 p.m. in the board room at the central office.
