A proposal to the Clinton Board of Education at last week's monthly meeting has gained traction with the district.

Superintendent Drew Goebel indicates a concerned resident approached the Board of Education about fencing in the playground at Clinton Elementary School.

According to Goebel, the fence would not encompass the entirety of the playground, but they would seek to secure the west and south sides of the playground from the adjacent neighborhood and Illini Drive.

Goebel calls it a safety issue and feels it would be a good barrier to keep kids safe at CES.

The district would likely see the fence built in the summer when approved by the Board of Education later this spring.
