Clinton Schools is joining several districts in helping purchase the former State Farm building in Bloomington/Normal to expand a career center for high school students.

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, Clinton Schools Superintendent Drew Goebel told Regional Radio they are chipping in a little less than $80,000 to help purchase a former State Farm building to expand the Bloomington Area Career Center.

According to Goebel, the BACC has a great vision for the future and this has been well thought out to offer a better program for students of central Illinois.

While the BACC is a great opportunity for local students because of all the programs they have to offer, Goebel also touts the great things happening in Clinton schools for its students.

One of the appeals for the BACC for Goebel is that not every student is meant to be in a four-year university setting. He believes the BACC is a great opportunity for students to get hands-on experiences in a variety of fields and find out what they are good at or what they enjoy.
