Gov. Bob Riley, who has proposed a supplemental appropriation of $500 million to help local school systems, colleges and universities with construction, renovation and repair costs, will visit three different schools on Monday, Jan. 23 to discuss his plan, including Centre Middle School.

At each stop, Gov. Riley will meet with the local school superintendent. The Alabama Association of School Superintendents has endorsed Gov. Riley's proposal. The press is invited to join Gov. Riley as he tours each school. After the tour, the governor will discuss his proposal and be available to answer questions from the press.
