The Clinton Board of Education met for a brief meeting Tuesday night.

Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday told Regional Radio News they approved budget amendments. The district will finish Fiscal Year '21 in the black.

The Board approved the district to create a position for a K-5 Special Education Department head. Nettles explains a leader is in place at high school and junior high school. 

Additionally, Thursday night the Board of Education discussed allowing staff members who reside outside the district to allow their children to attend Clinton Schools and waiving the tuition fees. Nettles explains the other things like registration fees would apply.

Nettles notes that was a proposal that was only discussed and could be taken up for a vote in August or September.

The Board of Education will not convene in July.

Also Tuesday night, the Board approved handbook updates for the 2021-22 school year and its behavior policy. Minor adjustments were made to both according to Nettles.
