The Monticello Board of Education will hear this week about what district staff have come up with to restructure its middle school schedule.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Superintendent Adam Clapp told Regional Radio the district a small group of staff looked into what other districts in the area do for middle school schedules in hopes of coming up with ideas to do things better in Monticello.

According to Clapp, one of the target areas is to offer ag in the middle school. He indicates this week, his Board of Education will hear from the committee that took this on.

One of the issues the school encounters is students having to choose electives and programs to participate in because of the limited schedule. Clapp explains the goal is to open up more opportunities so students do not have to make those difficult choices going forward.

Clapp indicates any decisions made by the Board of Education would not be implemented until the 2025-26 school year but is very thankful for the work done by the individuals in the district and looks forward to what they have to present later this week.
