What schools will look like in the fall could become more clear during June as school leaders await the release of guidelines from the State of Illinois.

Tuesday night at the Clinton Board of Education meeting, Clinton Schools superintendent Curt Nettles informed his board there has been speculation those guidelines could come as soon as this week but he and his colleagues anticipate those coming soon.

According to Nettles, there is an unofficial task force for the district to put into place plans for the district to reopen. He indicates while the State of Illinois will push local control, there will be guidelines they have to incorporate in their plans.

Nettles indicates they will put together a plan that is best for the students, staff, community and families. He indicates their committee consists of school board members, administrators, teachers, fall sports coaches, and the health department is going to be a part of it as well.

Nettles looks forward to getting the guidelines from the State of Illinois moving forward with the plann
