At a special meeting tomorrow night, the Indiana Area School Board is scheduled to enact the 2024-25 budget, which will total $65.4 million and include a 6.8 percent real estate tax increase.
The board will also consider a motion to close the Horace Mann Elementary School, and a separate motion to lease a portion of the building to Merakey, Incorporated, an educational company catering to special needs services for school-age and adult students. At a presentation before the board last month, Merakey said it would use Horace Mann for autistic and emotional support services for school-age students, and it also could be interested in buying the Horace Mann building next year.
The school board will also take up a number of items dealing with preparations for the coming school year.
Marion Center’s school board is also scheduled to meet Monday night, with adoption of the new budget at the top of their agenda. The fiscal plan at Marion Center totals more than $29 million dollars and contains a real estate tax increase of 3.98 percent.
As at Indiana, Marion Center will also be voting on a number of measures to prepare for the upcoming school year. That includes motions to accept the resignation of Pam Anderson as athletic director, to hire Tyler Schilling as her replacement, and also to appoint Don Seanor as “Director of Athletics Communication and Public Relations” and Doug Snyder as assistant athletic director/safety coordinator.
