Six of our talented CHS band students spent last week sharpening their skills and making music at SWOSU Band Camp! From rehearsals to performances, they represented Clinton with pride and passion.

We’re proud of their dedication and can’t wait to hear them this fall! 🎶🎺🥁

🚨 Temporary Hold on REDS 365 Program Due to Federal Funding Delay 🚨

CPS Family,

We want to make you aware of a serious funding issue that affects our REDS 365 after-school program. As many of you know, this program is made possible through the Federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Grant. Although this year’s grant funding was approved in March, we have been informed that the funding—scheduled to be released July 1—has been withheld for review as of June 30.

At this time, we do not have a clear answer on when or if those funds will be released. Without those funds, we will not be able to launch the REDS 365 program when school starts.

This impacts students and families, bus drivers, custodians, cooks, support staff, certified teachers, CHS student workers, and our community. It’s more than a grant—it’s an essential service that touches every corner of our district. We are grateful to have been able to provide those opportunities to students for the past three years.

We will continue to advocate with state and national partners to press for the release of the funds and will keep you informed the moment we learn something definitive.

Thank you for your continued support, flexibility, and care for our students and families as we navigate this uncertainty.

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Superintendent Nathan Meget at nathan.meget@clintonokschools.org or Federal Programs Director Melissa Knabe at melissa.knabe@clintonokschools.org.
