State Owes Clinton Schools Over $750,000

Add Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles to the list of Superintendents calling out the State of Illinois for its claims of fully funding education.

Tuesday night at the monthly Board of Education meeting, the district's leader pointed out the State owes the district more than three-quarters of a million dollars, with some of that still from the last fiscal year.
 
 
Nettles explains the general state aid checks are coming on time and are being fully funded, however, the quarterly payments for things like transportation and special education are very behind at this time.
 
 
In a recent meeting with the State's Superintendent, Nettles indicates the state is planning to make all general state aid through the end of the year.
 
 
Nettles says it's not out of the question for the state to owe the district a million dollars by the end of the fiscal year in June. 
 
The Board of Education Tuesday night approved the sale of the former Washington School site.
