The Indiana School District superintendent said at last night’s meeting that he was grateful for the financial contribution from the state from the budget, but not with how things turned out concerning cyber charter schools.
Superintendent Robert Heinrich said the district received an additional $400,000 in funding from the state budget but nothing was done concerning funding for cyber charter schools. Last year, cyber charter programs cost $1.7 million for the district, and the issue remains a problem for them and others.
The board authorized the administration to work with Constellation and the Buildings and Grounds Committee to complete a contract amendment for various projects that are designed to reduce energy costs in the district. This will be brought back to the board for full approval at a later meeting. The projects will cost the district around $5.4 million, but no action was taken on a motion to authorize working with PFM Financial Advisors and Dinsmore and Shohl as bond counsel along with the local solicitor to issue general obligation bonds to finance the project. Board member Chris Adams said he would like to see the district to use some of its own money to reduce how much would be borrowed on the bond issue.
