The Clinton Central School Corporation has announced that all schools will be closed on Friday, February 13, 2026, due to a high number of illnesses affecting both students and staff. The district will use one of its two state-granted waiver days, meaning the missed day will not need to be made up later in the school year.

Why it matters

School closures due to illness outbreaks can be disruptive for families and impact student learning. However, the use of waiver days allows the district to prioritize health and safety without penalizing students for the missed instructional time.

The details

The closure is intended to allow students and employees time to recover and to help prevent further spread of illness throughout the school community. Families are encouraged to monitor official CCSC communication channels for any additional updates.
