Tuesday night, the Clinton Board of Education approved plans for summer school.

Last week on the WHOW Morning Show, building principals outlined what their plans will be for summer school. Clinton Elementary School Principal Sasha Young told Regional Radio News the data coming out of their building would indicate students are roughly a school-quarter to a half-a-year behind. 

According to Young, summer school for her students will include a lot of foundation skills and working to make sure kids are getting those concepts in place so they are ready to move to the next level.

Assistant Principal Ben Mooney says having students in the building this year has gone very well. He believes not having school for so long gave everyone a renewed sense of appreciation for what they have and believes it has gone better than they could have anticipated. 

Young believes remote learning this year when students were forced to be home has been executed much better this school. She points out remote learning this year has gone much better than last spring and also attributes the positive progress of their students to being in-person as much as they have.
