E-Learning has been a highly utilized tool since the COVID-19 pandemic. 

On the WHOW Morning Show, Wednesday, Clinton Schools Superintendent Drew Goebel told Regional Radio that instead of having a snow day or emergency day, they use E-Learning to continue education. He says the plan must be approved by the School Board and the State of Illinois. 

Goebel references last year's water issues, in which the district turned to E-Learning days to keep the district's schedule on pace. He feels that this plan is a safety net should they need to use it. 

Changes to this plan include taking devices home for fourth and fifth graders, and giving the option to do live online instruction for 2nd and 3rd graders. He adds that the content plan will not change between in-person and online curriculum. 

Goebel understands that E-Learning can be a headache for students, parents, and educators, so the district is doing everything it can to make it easier for all parties.  

Goebel reiterates that their new E-Learning plan has to be approved by the School Board and the State of Illinois to go forward. Learn more at cusd15.org.
