By Jim Measel Jul 21, 2021 | 8:09 PM COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â Branch Intermediate School District Superintendent Kris Jenkins told the B.I.S.D. Board of Education on Wednesday the renovation project at the Branch Area Careers Center is behind schedule due in part to snafus in getting permits from the State of Michigan. She said the architects and the state have been going back and forth on the needed permits since February 19 and they have not heard back from the state since the first of July. Jenkins says the construction manager is coming up with ways students can continue learning in their programs while the work is going on.
