A special meeting of the Clinton County Board of Education was held last Thursday afternoon, July 24 at the Central Office board room. Only three board members–chairperson Paula Key, Jeff Sams and Kevin Marcum–were able to attend the special session, along with superintendent Charlotte Bernard.

Only one item of business on the agenda required a vote, as the board voted unanimously to establish a part-time certified exceptional education teaching position at Clinton County High School.

Supt. Bernard explained that after looking at numbers of all exceptional students in each school, CCHS would have more such students this coming school year that will be transitioning from the middle school, thus a part-time person would be needed there.

The only other item of business on the agenda was a closed session for the purpose of conducting the annual superintendent’s evaluation, with no official votes being necessary on that process.

A work session that was listed on the agenda on the KSBIT, budget and facilities, was not conducted last week with only three members being present.

The next regular meeting of the Clinton County Board of Education is scheduled for Monday, August 11 at 5 p.m. at the Central Office board room and is open to the general public.
