Never a backer of the idea of e-learning days, the leader of Clinton schools recommended not implementing a policy for the district.

Monday night at the rescheduled board of education meeting, Superintendent Curt Nettles indicated his concerns and notes this is a decision he did not make alone. Once the State of Illinois completed its regulations around e-learning days, the district deliberated and decided they were not going to pursue a policy for an at-home learning day.

Additionally, the issue of students in daycare would be problematic. Nettles has seen daycares that have set their regulations regarding students in their facilities.

Board of Education members agreed with Nettles' assessment. President of the Board, Dan Matthews wonders how a packet of work without a teacher's instruction would benefit a student.

Chris Hammer, an educator in Lincoln, says their district is implementing e-learning days and he is not in favor of. 

Nettles says if the focus is on how it impacts their staff, that is not what they are about. He wants the focus to be how this would impact their students. 

The Board agreed to not move forward with an e-learning day policy.
