Nothing is imminent and they don't have to be grand but Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles is encouraging his Board of Education to start thinking about future planning for facilities.

While the district has five buildings that are all in good shape, if not nearly brand new, Nettles says the Board needs to start thinking about the things they need and the things they want.

According to Nettles, the process will take roughly three to five years to complete. He hopes for a plan to be more comprehensive than just maintenance items. 

Funding for these things could come from a one-cent sales tax that would have to go to referendum. Nettles emphasizes again, the nice things folks see at schools in Macon, Champaign, and even Logan Counties are largely thanks to the one-cent sales tax.

Nettles says as activities return to normal schedules, Clinton Schools are hosting many school-sanctioned functions that will be bringing people from all over the area. He says that is a base to tap into with a one-cent sales tax.
