Clinton County Board of Education

What Clinton County Board of Education does

Clinton County Board of Education (operating as Clinton County School District) is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 1273 KY Hwy 90 West, Albany, Kentucky, serving the children and adult residents of rural Clinton County. Instruction is delivered across four district-operated schools: Clinton County Early Childhood Center (pre-K), Albany Elementary School (K-5), Clinton County Middle School (6-8), and Clinton County High School (9-12), supplemented by an Adult Education program offering GED preparation, skills upgrading, college transition support, and KESC/KCRC test prep in classroom, virtual, and blended formats.

The district's service portfolio includes a federally designated Title I schoolwide program, a Migrant Education Program for transient agricultural families, Exceptional (special) Education services, Family Resource & Youth Services Centers at each building, Gifted & Talented programs, and the Clinton Online Learning Academy (COLA) for virtual instruction. Operations run on a third-party technology stack rather than proprietary systems: Microsoft 365 for email, Infinite Campus as the student information system, Follett Destiny for library management, Clever for SSO, and educational platforms including Achieve3000, Edgenuity, NWEA/MAP, EasyCBM, ReadingPlus, ReadWorks, Ripple Effects, Rosetta Stone, Accelerated Reader, iDrive Digital, and MealViewer/MySchoolBucks for ancillary services. The IT function is staffed by a District Technology Coordinator/CIO, Network Administrator, Network Technician, and Digital Learning Coach.

Clinton County Schools is funded entirely through government appropriations — federal (Title I Part A, IDEA, Migrant Education Program, McKinney-Vento, ARP ESSER), Kentucky state education funding, and local property tax including the 58-cent-per-$100 Nickel Tax and the voter-approved Double Nickel tax levy — with no tuition charged. The district participates in the Community Eligible Provision (CEP), providing free breakfast and lunch to all students in 2024-2025. Governance rests with the elected Clinton County Board of Education under Superintendent Wayne Ackerman, with CFO Courtney Norris overseeing the Finance function. The district is not an investable entity; it is a Kentucky government subdivision operating a managed-services educational delivery model.
