School next year will be mostly normal. School days will be their traditional length. Sports will be back on its normal schedule and everyone will be required to be in-person except for the very scarce exception.
Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles says while he will do what the state asks of him and the district, he will be advocating for as few restrictions as possible next year.
Limited guidance regarding next year has come down from the Illinois Department of Public Health through the Illinois State Board of Education. Nettles says it is still early to be getting wrapped up in decisions for two months from now.
Planning for more interventions for kids is among the primary focuses for next year as well as increasing mental and emotional resources for their kids.
