INDIANA, MARION CENTER BOARDS TO MEET ON MONDAY

School board meetings in July are rare, but there are two Indiana County boards scheduled to meet tomorrow.

Indiana Area’s board president, Walter Schroth, will report to the board on the ICTC situation.  The River Valley School District has notified ICTC of its intention to pull out of its commitment to the technical school, and there are important ramifications for all of the other districts in the county if River Valley is leaves.

There are a number of motions to be dealt with regarding the start of the new school year, an extensive list of coaching assignments, and an update on the Eisenhower school project.

The board will also consider a bond issue for over $5 million for construction projects related to ESCO, the energy savings program.

The Buildings, Grounds, and Transportation Committee will meet beforehand

In a combined work and voting session, Marion Center’s board will also  prepare for the opening next month of a new school year, including coaching and extracurricular assignments, a budget update, and a second reading of the district’s electronic devices policy.
