Doctor Linda Jewel Carr returns as Clinton City Schools curriculum director

The Clinton City Schools Board of Education convened on March 26, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, beginning with a warm welcome back to Dr. Linda Jewel Carr, who has resumed her role in the curriculum instruction department. The board expressed gratitude for her leadership, particularly for her recent direction of a successful performance of "Mother Goose."

The meeting opened with acknowledgments of frontline essential workers and a moment of reflection for students, employees, and families facing illness and loss. The chair urged the community to support one another and remain hopeful for the future.

Following a roll call, where all board members and staff were accounted for, the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. The agenda was then approved unanimously after a motion by board member Carol Worley and a second by Pastor Russ Emanuel.

The board proceeded to the consent agenda, which included a correction regarding a personnel item. After addressing the omission of a child nutrition employee's name, the consent agenda was approved with the modification.

The meeting highlighted an "Education Spotlight," where Dr. Carr introduced the Students of the Month. The first student recognized was Cage Howard, with further details about his achievements to follow.

Overall, the meeting emphasized community support, recognition of student accomplishments, and the importance of collaboration among board members and staff. The board's next steps will likely involve continued focus on educational initiatives and community engagement.
