CORBIN â Superintendent Dave Cox updated members of the Corbin Board of Education about the different projects going on around the school district during Thursdayâs meeting.

Cox noted that bids have opened for those projects closed on Wednesday but no bids for the masonry work have come in as of Thursday evening, so administration has had to reach out to some masons.
