Clinton's Lincoln School to Get New Playground Equipment

Lincoln Elementary School in Clinton will be getting new playground equipment.

 

At the Tuesday night Board of Education meeting, special education teacher Ginger Morgan explained to the Board not only is the Lincoln School playground equipment very dated, but it also is not very inclusive for students with special needs.

 

 

According to Ginger, while she was concerned about what special needs students could use, she also worked with teachers throughout the building to find out what they wanted and did not want.

 

 

Up her alley, Morgan is very excited about the options for her special needs students and equipment for kids that lack skills to do things on a traditional playground and integrate those things with regular playground equipment so everyone can play together.

 

 

Ginger indicates this project has been in the works for a few years as she worked to secure funding. She explained to the board some of the things she's worked on and credits Maintenance Director Ryan Black for saving them thousands-and-thousands of dollars on this project to make it affordable.

 

 

Superintendent of Clinton Schools Curt Nettles is excited about this project and praised Morgan's work in coordinating this effort.
