Clark County school leaders shared stories about programs or students that made a positive impact this year.
* Springfield Superintendent Bob Hill said one his favorite things the district does is provide free preschool to 400-500 students a year. “When students grow up in some of the situations that our students grow up in, preschool is essential,” he said. “It’s not funded by the state of Ohio, but it’s a reality if we’re going to advance our students who grow up in poverty, our students in the urban centers that our legislature continues to erode in my opinion, we have to have that early childhood education.”
