Monica Ryle, who spoke about school-level work and instruction, said the district's midyear I-Ready assessment results placed all three Clinton City schools in a \"high performance, high growth\" quadrant for both math and reading. \"All 3 of our schools are in the quadrant that we want to be in,\" Ryle said, and noted North Clinton showed its highest academic performance to date. Ryle credited targeted staffing and the district's work with NIET coaching and teacher professional learning communities for the gains.

Ryle also announced she will retire in June after 30 years with Clinton City Schools. The board named Abby Kidwell, currently assistant principal at Clinton Elementary School, as the incoming principal at North Clinton; the superintendent and board members praised the internal promotion as continuity for instruction.

Principals from South Clinton and Clinton Elementary reported school events, family STEM nights, staff recognition funded by a local education foundation grant, parent conference turnout and morale-building activities. South Clinton principal (Ms.) Bohnstill described weekly community-building \"Fun Friday\" assemblies and fundraising and incentive drives for classroom supplies.

Facilities updates: the director and operations staff reported the auditorium ceiling painting and lighting work is complete and a state-contract vendor will perform a digital topographic seat layout ahead of ordering chairs. The district is in an RFP process for a Clinton Elementary playground intended to include accessible features; staff described design revisions prompted by teacher and parent input so wheelchair-using students can access play elements and interactive panels. The district said timing will depend on vendor schedules; staff expressed a goal to have installations ready over the summer so students can use them in August.

Registration and programs: the director outlined upcoming registration windows, including zone-exception and transfer timelines and pre-K registration. She said zone-exception applications for city residents open in March (March 1–30) and transfer registration for non-city residents will run April 1–May 15; pre-K registration will open in March for eligible 4-year-olds. The district also noted an upcoming visit by Tennessee Department of Education staff to observe K–2 literacy work.

Several principals thanked community partners who provided grants or event support, including a Knoxville Zoo visit and programming from Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. The board also learned that several teachers and administrators will attend NIET national conference sessions in late February.

No formal board action was taken on staffing promotions or facilities during the meeting; the items were reported as informational or work-in-progress.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Clinton City Schools Board of Education: February 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District principals and the director reported midyear assessment gains, staffing changes and facilities updates; North Clinton principal Monica Ryle announced her retirement and Abby Kidwell was named North Clinton's next principal.","taxTitle","Clinton City, School Districts, Tennessee","taxId",78395,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660804,"Clinton City Schools board approves December financial report, raises state investment cap to $2 million",951,31000,982000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2432916-b2aaf8a6bbe8c3457d3149a5455cf12e&start=31&end=982","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2432916-b2aaf8a6bbe8c3457d3149a5455cf12e/thumbnail_31000.jpg","/articles/6660804/Tennessee/Clinton-City-Schools-board-approves-December-financial-report-raises-state-investment-cap-to-2-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660804-49324964ebb48ae3f40c5843fcca049c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158317&Signature=WJOa2Ybz0sc6yPmPB429ITvUrdu~6yoXlwt~PZomNk49XcBgagfQvlcmzPM0Its-tzdU7V9yx0rw7rlsOeSzEDcZrdf1OEPNTFA1x3mCwFFucGp~4oG5d6GaOO4luyv-nD2MLljp92Kz5dKrA2Da6QDj7tlYBK8wXHH9vVzC~PHNWxAF8BBoOBrCD2VpB6YHvMPSfok2mpsZ91iBWL-FeMEa45ZXfAWKn~4qMv7FcFXMgI8bq5TaKM2ZThns6jgpVY0cYEnsp0T79BTrptT1sJ~OE9r6WoQ7-Ji8WLn6V99varjoMiY256ojVKdlCavaBsb6-ES9QsSIsFtppOPqpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its meeting, the Clinton City Schools Board approved the district's December financial report and voted to raise the district's authorized investment in the Tennessee local government investment pool from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.

Scott Ray, a district staff member who presented the financial report, told the board the district had budgeted $2,200,000 in property tax revenue but had \"only collected 375,\" explaining that property-tax collections typically ramp up in January through March. Ray said the general purpose school fund showed a December deficit of $295,000 and the Federal Projects fund was about $81,000 in deficit, which he attributed to the timing of reimbursement requests. \"We're behind, due to me being a little bit behind, in our reimbursement requests,\" Ray said, adding that the district was about two months behind on reimbursements and typically aims for 30 to 45 days.

Ray also reported a new revenue account labeled \"Disaster Relief,\" reflecting a FEMA reimbursement. He said the district received a check in December for $48,000 as reimbursement for pandemic-related cleaning supplies and equipment purchased after an application filed in 2021.

On school nutrition, Ray said the program was near breakeven for the reporting period and that USDA commodity deliveries — credited to the district's nutrition contract — were expected to increase and produce a modest surplus barring major equipment purchases. He cautioned that one-time capital purchases (for example, a $10,000 oven) are expensed in the period purchased.

Separately, Ray reviewed the district's use of bank deposits and investments. The board had previously authorized staff to deposit surplus cash across a set of banks and to invest up to $1,000,000 in the state-run local government investment pool (LGIP). Ray told the board the district had about $1,068,000 in the pool and asked the board to formally increase the LGIP cap to $2,000,000 and to permit staff to add two more banks (raising the count from four to six) to spread insured deposits and stay within collateral rules. Board members discussed returning the bank-list amendment to a future meeting; Ray said he could bring the additional-bank approvals back at the next meeting.

Board members voted by roll call to approve both the December financial report and the LGIP cap increase. The board chair called for and received no further discussion before each roll call.

The board will receive quarterly updates on the location and balances of deposits and investments, Ray said, and he indicated he will monitor cash flow and bank collateral to keep deposits within insurance and state-collateral limits.
