Greater Clark County School Board extends Mark Loffner's contract to 2028

The Greater Clark County Schools Board of Trustees held a significant meeting on June 24, 2025, where key developments regarding school leadership and upcoming community events were discussed.

One of the most notable outcomes was the annual performance evaluation of Superintendent Mark Loffner, who received a highly effective rating. This evaluation, conducted using a standardized tool from the Indiana State School Board Association, allows for consistency in assessing school leaders across the state. As a result of this positive evaluation, Loffner's contract has been extended by one year, now set to run until June 30, 2028. Board members expressed their appreciation for Loffner's leadership and the collaborative efforts of his team, highlighting the progress made within the district.

In addition to leadership updates, the board announced two upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremonies for new school facilities. The first will take place on July 15 at Pike Elementary, followed by a similar event at Charlestown Elementary on July 16. Community members are encouraged to attend these celebrations and tour the new buildings. However, the board cautioned that the initial months of the school year may present challenges as construction continues, particularly regarding parking and access to the schools.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to enhancing educational facilities and leadership, while also inviting community engagement in the upcoming school year. As these developments unfold, residents can look forward to improved educational environments for their children.
