With students out of the building for the year, a Piatt County school district is turning its attention to its summer projects. 

Monticello Schools Superintendent Adam Clapp explains that they have a handful of ongoing projects that should see completion this summer, like sidewalk renovations and multiple HVAC projects. 

The one-cent sales tax in Piatt County is helping to fund these projects. Clapp indicates that having those dollars available has allowed them to go above and beyond band-aid or short-term fixes to things.

While most students are gone during the summer, Clapp notes that between tutoring, offseason sports workouts, and small maintenance projects, there will be things going on for kids all summer long. 

Keep it to the Hart Media Group in the weeks ahead to hear from area Superintendents as they wrap up the school year. In the meantime follow along with all things Monticello Schools at sages.us or by finding the district on Facebook.
