Clinton Schools Exploring Summer School Options

School administrators across the state and the country are going to be discussing more and more, plans for summer school to make sure students are ready to move on and make up for the tremendous amount of classroom time lost due to the COVID pandemic. 

 

Tuesday night at the Clinton Board of Education meeting, a good amount of time was dedicated to discussing summer school options, who would attend, when they would attend and how long they would attend. Superintendent Curt Nettles sees summer school as a 'recovery of credits.'

 

 

Administration of the various buildings weighed in Tuesday night on what summer school might look like. Junior High School Principal Jim Peck says his building leadership team will begin meeting this week to zero in on priorities for summer school.

 

 

Administrators will have a challenge finding teachers willing to teach during the summer months. Nettles indicates this will not be something they force their staff to do and they will provide compensation for teachers that do step up. High School Principal Robert Svencner indicates they too are in the planning stages for this program.

 

 

Nettles hopes to have a proposal to bring before the Board for its March meeting for approval. 

 

Hear from Nettles following up the Board of Education meeting on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday at 8:30 am.
