Anderson County schools report end‑of‑year operations; Board adopts budget amendment for summer programs and textbooks
Summary
The school board approved Budget Amendment No. 4 to fund summer learning and new science textbooks, and reported on sixth‑grade graduation and third‑grade promotion review.
Clinton school officials told the council that the school year ends Friday with a half day for students and that sixth‑grade graduation will be held Thursday at 9 a.m. at the Clinton Community Center gym.
Kelly Johnson, speaking for the Clinton school board, summarized that Budget Amendment No. 4 accounts for the district's summer learning program and newly adopted science textbooks. "We budgeted for the summer learning program that we hold in June," Johnson said, noting this is their fourth year of the program; she also said federal projects are reimbursement grants that require the state Department of Education approval for reimbursement.
The board moved to approve Budget Amendment No. 4 and recorded a roll-call vote with affirmative votes by the listed council members; the transcript records "Budget amendment number 4 passes." The amendment included small net changes to the School Nutrition Fund (about $3,600) and recognized grant-funded expenditures that will be reimbursed.
Johnson also reported staff were reviewing third‑grade promotion/retention data released the previous weekend and were working with parents on interventions. She thanked the Clinton Fire Department for school cookouts this term.
The board’s motion to approve the amendment passed on a recorded roll call; the transcript does not show dissenting votes.
