CLINTON —The Clinton Community Schools Board of Education approved a three-year contract with Superintendent Curt Nettles at Tuesday night’s meeting. Nettles contract now extends to June 30, 2022. The board offered an additional two-year extension if Nettles achieves specific goals set by the board.
“I’m happy with (the contract) and glad to know I will be here in this community and with this district for the next several years,” said Nettles.
Nettles presented a plaque to former board president Mike Walker for his service to the district. Walker resigned from the board last year after deciding to seek election as DeWitt County Sheriff.
“Anybody that spends any time as a board member, whether it’s for 6 months or 46 years…we want to recognize that,” said Nettles.
Much of Tuesday night’s meeting was spent giving kudos to the junior high and high school dance team members who recently swept the state finals. The coaches of both teams shared their success stories and the girls showed their medals and trophies to the board.
In addition, a group of Clinton High School marching band members modeled their new uniforms and personally thanked the board for helping with the purchase. The previous uniforms had been in use for 22 years.
In other action, the board:
