'Data days' will soon be a part of the regular evaluation of students and their academic progress in Clinton Schools.

On the WHOW Morning Show following up this week's Clinton School Board meeting, Superintendent Curt Nettles tells Regional Radio data days will be an evaluation of students and any needs for intervention services.

According to Nettles, the district does its own benchmarking to assess where students are at and track their progress. He explains data days will be a time for evaluation of students and where they are at in their academic progress.

Nettles explains intervention has changed over the years as educators learned kids need to be with classmates and participate in the daily lessons with their peers. 

Data days will simply happen during the school days. Director of Teaching and Learning Karrah Jensen will meet with staff in each school periodically to go over the data they have on students. 

Data days were introduced to the Board of Education at the Tuesday night Board of Education meeting.
