Bement schools are back in session, and returning to normal since COVID.

Superintendent Mary Vogt told Regional Radio that it feels like they are finally returning to normalcy since the pandemic, the students and staff seem to be feeling it. 

Since Covid, many districts have been struggling with truancy issues, but Superintendent Vogt says so far they've had success in getting kids to come to school, and she attributes it to the small class sizes.

It's been at least 8 years since the district started a year fully staffed, until this year. Vogt explains that while things can change, they are lucky to have the staff they do. 

Vogt says they continue to improve their technology and school, replacing many of the computers and smart boards. They are pushing to continue to support their staff. You can find more information about Bement Schools at bement.k12.il.us
