After putting new turf on its football field last year, the Paintsville Independent Board of Education is now taking on a major renovation project in its high school gym. At their regular meeting March 11, school board members jumped into action on various items for the gym replacement project at Paintsville High School, including the approval of architect agreements, bid documents and paperwork required by the Kentucky Department of Education. Architect Mike Sparkman of Alt32 also presented drawings and the timeline for the project, with construction set to begin in June and completed in August. The gym floor design shows Paintsville being in the 57th District and 15th Region, but Sparkman said “State of Kentucky” was mistakenly left out of the drawing and will be included on the final rendition. The gym floor will also include the name of retired PHS boys’ basketball coach Bill M. Runyon, who is now Paintsville mayor. Board member Joe Porter asked if the 57th District needs to be on the gym floor in the event Paintsville is moved out of the district.
