At Thursdayâs meeting, Fort Payne Superintendent Jim Cunningham updated the Board of Education about progress on the new school and other projects. âWeâre taking baby steps, weâre getting closer,â Cunningham said concerning ongoing work at Little Ridge Intermediate School. âIt is much more completed on the inside than the outside. The rain continues to slow [construction]. I know we are going to be very proud of it. I canât wait for you to do a walk-through and see the designs on the floors, which reflect the curriculum. It is really, really shaping up now to be exactly what we thought it would be.â
