WEBXTRA: Bad weather, pandemic forces completion date of new Emeline Carpenter Elementary School back WEBXTRA: Nac ISD construction delay By Donna McCollum and Christian Terry | April 27, 2021 at 12:02 PM CDT - Updated April 27 at 12:02 PM NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KTRE) - Construction continues on the new Emeline Carpenter Elementary School in Nacogdoches. While construction on the outside looks to be coming along nicely, the district said contractors are actually running behind schedule which is causing a few issues. Deputy Superintendent Michael Martin said the contractor told them the completion date of the new school is needing to be pushed back due to both bad weather and the COVID-19 pandemic. The original completion date was scheduled to be in late July. It has now been moved to September 14.
