 We are still collecting textbook and activity fees from graduating Seniors at the time of this message. Dr. Foutch is confident in their resolution.  There are still many parents of those (other than senior students) who have not rectified outstanding textbook and activity bills.  We are hoping that the late payment fee policy is encouraging payments.

 The Clinton County Academic Excellence Banquet was held on Wednesday, April 27th.  There were Sixteen students from Central recognized with their parents at the event.  This was the 24th Annual celebration of the four schools. It continues to be one of our favorite evenings of the school year.

 On Wednesday, May 11th we hosted our 16th Annual Academic Achievement Awards program.  It was a great success with many special guests in attendance to present scholarships at the function.  Sixty students were awarded in various ways for four years of excellent work.  We had several special awards and scholarships this year.  We calculated that the scholarships offered to our Seniors reached an unbelievable value of over $5.4 million in award earnings.  The average college bound senior this year received over $80,000 in scholarship offers. 

 We distributed the annual Classroom Achievement Awards on Friday, May 6th to deserving students who have performed well in each of our courses this past year.  This is a long-standing tradition here at Central.  Dr. Ketchum and Mr. Hamon assisted in distributing certificates at an assembly of the deserving students and Mrs. Varel coordinated all of the certificates from teachers.  Congratulations to all of the recipients of these awards.

 We are waiting for confirmation on the allocation of funds from the Perkins and the Career and Technical Education grants with the C.T.E. program for next year.  (We are hoping for approximately the same as last year.)  However, even if that transpires, without a budget in the State of Illinois, those funds will not be dispersed until a later point in time.  If you recall, we have for several years offset some of those funds to pay for tutorial services.

 Dr. Foutch updated the BOE on the updates for the Summer 2023 building projects.
