Monday night, the Indiana School Board had a spirited discussion on the district’s budget.
Prior to the voting meeting, a discussion on the budget was held during the Audit and Finance Committee meeting. As part of that discussion, student-athletes from the Winter Track program were in attendance to talk about how much the program means to them. A reduction of $16,000 to that program is part of a list of proposed reductions to the 2026-27 budget. Business manager Jared Cronauer said that the district is facing some problems with the 2026-27 budget that will need multiple solutions.
During the voting meeting, the board approved sending School Climate surveys to students, staff and families. This year’s surveys will feature a more quantitative response instead of a written response so that they can graphically organize results easily.
