The community of Plattsburg was shocked this weekend to hear of the passing of longtime Clinton County R-III teacher Brett Dickerson and his wife, Robin.
Superintendent Sandy Steggall sent a notification to district patrons on Sunday, July 4, that the Dickersons passed away on Saturday in a motorcycle accident while in Wyoming.
“Mr. D was so loved by his students and we know the feeling was mutual,” she wrote. “Death can be difficult for us to understand, especially when it is sudden. Many of us may be confronted with a variety of emotions, which might include shock, sadness and confusion. Please reach out and let us know if you need to talk with Mrs. Kruse. We will also be at school all week if you want to stop by and talk.�

Program Addresses National Challenge: Rural Students Attend College at Lower Rates Than Those in Cities, Suburbs
Vermont Business Magazine CFES Brilliant Pathways, a college and career-readiness nonprofit based in Essex, NY, has chosen 20 rural schools in northeastern New York and Vermont for its newly launched North Country Brilliant Pathways program. Seventy-two schools applied for the program, which was announced in April.
The initiative, which has a value of $1.5 million, will provide schools with a multi-faceted, comprehensive college readiness program that will put more of their students on a path to college.
Currently, a lower percentage of rural students attend college compared with their urban and suburban counterparts, and they drop out at far higher rates.
