Superintendent of Clinton Schools Curt Nettles spent a few days in Springfield last week and says the Governor addressed school leaders encouraging them and thanking them for their hard work.

 

 

Nettles says he feels good the Governor seems to be on the side of education but feels worried because House Speaker Mike Madigan has yet to weigh in on the negotiations in the Grand Bargain in Springfield.

 

 

At last week's Board of Education meeting, Nettles indicated some of the messages from his meetings in Springfield were discouraging. He further discussed some of the proposals given by the Governor in his budget address a few weeks ago. 

 

We'll have more on that later this week.
