Students in Monticello are about back into the swing of the new school year.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Superintendent Adam Clapp told Regional Radio, students are back, but some may notice a bit of construction that is spilling over to the start of the new year.

Clapp believes it has been a great start to the school year so far. Like many districts, they bring in new students in each building separately to get to know the lay of the land before the entire student body comes in.

The Clinton YMCA partners with Monticello schools to provide after-school opportunities through Y-Zone, just like in Clinton. Clapp says it has been a great partnership for their community.

As school starts, the district's athletes are hard at work preparing for their season to begin, and they are continuing to focus and address the ever-changing world of artificial intelligence.
