The next several years will be a time of transition for Clinton schools.

Tuesday night at the Clinton Board of Education meeting, the Board approved the retirement notices for high school principal Jerry Wayne and assistant principal Bob Svencner for the 2026-2027 school year.

Additionally, assistant superintendent Drew Goebel was approved as the district's superintendent effective for the fiscal years 2025 through 2027. Until that time, he will retain his title as assistant superintendent. 

Superintendent Curt Nettles will retire after the 2023-24 school year. 

Lincoln and Douglas Schools principal Beth Wickenhauser is set to retire at the conclusion of this school year. Jessica Patrick was approved as the principal for the two school buildings. 

In the consent agenda portion of the meeting, the Board approved the dismissal of M-Squad coaches Zoe Duncan-Savage, Scout Duncan-Savage, and Kelsey Savage effective immediately. 

The M-Squad has been one of the district's most successful programs over the last several years.

Also at the Tuesday meeting, the Board approved the 2023-24 school calendar, renewed its membership with the IESA and IHSA, renewed the Apple lease agreement for iPads in the district, and bleacher replacement bids were approved for the high school gym for a cost of just over $300,000.
