Sunset Avenue requests county level competition for Battle to the Books team

The Clinton City Schools Board of Education meeting on May 1, 2025, highlighted several key achievements and initiatives within the district, particularly focusing on student competitions and community engagement.

One of the main topics discussed was the Battle of the Books team from Sunset Avenue, which competes at the regional level. The team faced challenges due to their lack of prior competition at the county level, which has put them at a disadvantage compared to other counties. To address this, a proposal was made to allow Sunset Avenue to compete at the county level next year, with the understanding that their scores would not count towards the overall standings unless they qualify for further rounds. This adjustment aims to enhance their competitive experience and prepare them for future challenges.

Additionally, the meeting acknowledged various community events, including an electrifying science night hosted by Butler Avenue and an EOG (End of Grade) parent information night held at Sunset Avenue. These events are part of the district's efforts to engage parents and promote student learning.

The board also shared updates on their communications, announcing the release of their ninth newsletter, which includes positive news and highlights from the district. This newsletter aims to keep the community informed about ongoing activities and achievements within the schools.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to fostering student participation in competitions and enhancing community involvement through informative events and communications.
