A second significant winter storm is set to hit central Illinois early Thursday morning and Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles Wednesday morning outlined for the community what his process will be for deciding on school Thursday.

The storm is not anticipated to be significantly impactful until after school would be in session Thursday, so rather than call school off ahead of time, Nettles told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, he will probably wait to see how the storm plays out emphasizing the safety of students, staff and families.

Nettles explains they get very accurate and up-to-the-hour information from the DeWitt County EMA office and the National Weather Service in Lincoln to help them make the most informed decisions they can.

Nettles says only once in his 15-year career as a superintendent has he called off school before a storm had arrived but generally does not make that a habit.
