Sam Pritchard, assistant superintendent for secondary education, presented track honors and invited athletes and coaches to the podium. Student athlete Mason Heiney said, \"I didn't do the best, but it was fun.\" Jacob Lindahl said he placed in the state meet: \"I got top 7. I got place in the state, so never gonna argue with that.\" Board members and coaches noted sectional and regional accomplishments, and coaches credited throwing coaches Tim and Alyssa for work with athletes.

Pritchard later presented a bell-ringer about the Tech Enrich Summer Learning conference the district hosts for educators. He said the conference drew more than 270 attendees, 94 of whom were Richmond Community Schools staff. The e-learning team — Jeremy Hill, Tim Arnold and Jody Robinson — secured roughly $18,000 in grant funding and raised about $6,000 locally to cover registration, food, swag and door prizes.

The conference schedule included 49 sessions and 32 speakers, Pritchard said; the keynote speaker was Amy Storer of an organization the transcript identified as \"Bridal Tech\" out of Texas. Sessions covered virtual and blended learning, STEM, universal design for learning and artificial intelligence. Attendees included regional educators and district staff; Pritchard said the conference is the longest-running Tech Enrich event in the state and provides professional development at no cost to participants.

Trustees congratulated the student-athletes and thanked the e-learning team and other staff who organized the conference.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Richmond Community Schools Board of Trustees Meeting - 2025, June 11","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees recognized Richmond High School athletes Jacob Lindahl and Mason Heiney for state track finishes and staff highlighted the district's Tech Enrich summer learning conference, funded by an $18,000 grant plus $6,000 in local donations and attended by more than 270 educators.","taxTitle","Richmond Community Schools, School Boards, Indiana","taxId",55559,"location","Indiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6545249,"Trustees approve donations, add payable docket, adopt 2026‑27 calendar and two policies",1046,1304000,2350000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3797824-f4b4723e6b1c2a9ff777b47d519e7236&start=1304&end=2350","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3797824-f4b4723e6b1c2a9ff777b47d519e7236/thumbnail_1304000.jpg","/articles/6545249/Indiana/Trustees-approve-donations-add-payable-docket-adopt-202627-calendar-and-two-policies","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545249-919fbcb918b67434549972ad4b527a45/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523971&Signature=o6yXaH7YjXlrAIqNqWMmrP7Q78Kf8dgduJpU4ZM6hHB~~WwtMeuj-3DkM46whcQYRI2B-KukVRTt79irbMc-03JoCTwR-stW6jALlFFQl~8N3INjTyM3y0mi3AucCxHrUW208lT4jk7UkrYyy1Vds6i7JtBbBLFNbtIW23vh7SBg3ewDZzTCCebe~9wsPVnbY153bvUtVzTXfosAN~ejQpsYq6i72eXHWAIZzG-jSMprH~wV~33L5MeDzR53KCnGEz0yfdd5SqjsB~gJnKHZ1shHOe3HqBYynydeAL-YNB159tPTspZQwsVfA66yJouMh9a2qJWQtLbsq4ESb0dNWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Richmond Community Schools trustees approved a package of routine actions including acceptance of donations totaling $39,553, authorization of an additional in-house payable docket for June, adoption of the 2026–27 school calendar and approval of two board policies.

2026–27 school calendar: Trustees approved the district calendar for the 2026–27 school year. Board members said the calendar development involved teachers, administrators and the PTA and that releasing a two‑year calendar helps families and staff plan. The motion to approve Item 5.04 was made by Member Stevens and seconded by Member Stultz; the vote was 6-0.

Policies: The board approved Policy 8455 (coach training references and IHSA reporting) on second reading (motion by Member Stevens, second by Member Brand) and Policy 0165 (board meetings) on second reading (motion by Member Stultz, second by Member Stevens).

Board members said the extensions are intended to provide stability for school leaders. A presenter told the board the recommended extensions match the district's practice from two years earlier and that the continuity supports leadership and student outcomes.

The motion to extend administrator contracts (Item 5.05) was made by Member Stevens and seconded by Member Stoll. Member Michael recused himself from the vote because his spouse is among the administrators covered by the extension; the board recorded the final vote as 5 in favor, 0 opposed, 1 abstention.

Board discussion included a reminder from a trustee that state practice commonly provides new administrators an automatic two-year term; a board member referenced that practice during remarks before the vote. The board did not specify individual contract terms or salaries in the public discussion recorded in the transcript.

The approval authorizes two-year extensions for current administrators as presented; staff indicated further appreciation and planned fall follow-up work on broader compensation and recognition efforts for district staff.","The Richmond Community Schools board approved two-year extensions for district administrators consistent with prior practice; the motion passed 5-0 with one abstention after a trustee recused because of a personal conflict.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6545258,"Board approves redevelopment application to expand Ivy Tech career pathways, including welding",355,1412000,1767000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3797824-f4b4723e6b1c2a9ff777b47d519e7236&start=1412&end=1767","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3797824-f4b4723e6b1c2a9ff777b47d519e7236/thumbnail_1412000.jpg","/articles/6545258/Indiana/Board-approves-redevelopment-application-to-expand-Ivy-Tech-career-pathways-including-welding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545258-b0b366023a56cc48e546d811d83a5d30/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523971&Signature=ZFMosyBF0AgxQu-KC6~4elPG38R-ik7PulvLOkmb8Uc69~L7--bnjh7tBcCNmhutOd-SB9VJJZ2xs0NTx6YYJ3SYQEUpPOzOAfdbq8yZrV7eksxBGybuNtxMYwejVr4I1tOX5BrZgBqvbBWPvOMV~q6Mr9-bR9u3C3Rihxp0XfslAJxMdbs92kniStc-jpgZLOwXzmPmOt90aYv6cKqDt0TtEd34jY8~rEDWCakCfWij5F7MyBkVIxA8h-XorBcHUjRyGgpMLphgvNmYGznavb89s9BMhgk3-zbyad7ykkJDeF1bU6s4y0RkA8a630-fY1uRK7-t4T-CZGlJ1czjhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Richmond Community Schools trustees voted unanimously to approve a redevelopment commission application that would reimburse the district for new career-education programs developed in partnership with Ivy Tech and state workforce agencies.

The measure, approved 6-0, covers up to the amount requested on the district's application and is structured as a reimbursable grant tied to student enrollment in the new programs. Assistant Superintendent of Business Karen Scott told trustees the redevelopment commission approves funding up to the requested amount and then reimburses the district based on student tuition and participation levels.

\"The redevelopment commission has a very specific process on the funding that you receive. So they'll approve the application if they desire to fund the project, and then everything is reimbursed,\" Scott said. She described the proposal as an expansion of existing career programming and said Ivy Tech, the district's career education department, the Department of Workforce Development and other partners worked to map program pathways according to state needs.

Scott said the district plans a two-year incremental rollout of four new programs; welding was cited as one of the expected additions. She said the structure lets the district pilot programs and switch offerings if student interest or labor-market needs change. \"It's reimbursable based on student tuition,\" she said, adding the application sets enrollment caps so Ivy Tech can ensure sustainability.

Board members discussed the program's workforce-development rationale before moving approval. The motion to approve Item 5.03 was offered by Member Brand and seconded by Member Lorrillaga; the vote was 6-0 in favor.

The approval does not itself allocate specific dollars to programs; instead it authorizes the district to seek redevelopment funding on the reimbursable model described by staff. Trustees said the partnership aims to connect students to local employers by offering industry-aligned pathways at the secondary level.

Proponents at the meeting emphasized that the program aligns district career offerings with state workforce priorities and Ivy Tech resources. The district did not specify the precise reimbursement amounts or enrollment caps in the board discussion recorded in the transcript.","Richmond Community Schools trustees approved a redevelopment commission application to reimburse new career-education programs developed with Ivy Tech, including plans to add welding and three other programs over a two‑year rollout; vote was unanimous, 6-0.","actionData","errors"]
