(KAIT) - The over a year and a half expansion project, costing around $9 million at Paragould School District, is almost complete. Students and teachers say that the new facilities will improve education and get students more interested and involved. The band, agriculture, and ROTC buildings are completed. Awnings, sidewalks, and a band practice field are being installed. “People want to get more involved because we have more opportunities for training and practices and a lot more space, as you can see, and it’s just really nice. It’s a great thing to have,” Samantha Wood said.
