The Linn-Mar School Board made significant strides in enhancing student accessibility and community engagement during their meeting on September 22, 2025. The board approved Barry as the delegate and Justin as the alternative delegate for the upcoming ISB General Assembly, ensuring experienced representation at the event.

A key highlight of the meeting was the approval of Rachio Construction as the contractor for the Indian Creek Elementary Concrete ADA upgrade project. This initiative aims to improve accessibility to the playground by replacing outdated concrete and ensuring compliance with ADA standards. The project is set to begin within the next few weeks and is expected to be completed by December 1, 2025. This upgrade is part of a broader effort to enhance the playground facilities, which have been a topic of concern among parents and board members alike.

The funding for this project will come from the voter-approved Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PEPL), which was established to support such essential improvements without raising taxes. Board members expressed gratitude for the finance committee's efforts in bringing this project to fruition, emphasizing the importance of timely upgrades for student safety and accessibility.

In addition to these discussions, the board acknowledged two retirements and a teacher's upcoming military duty, highlighting the community's commitment to supporting its members. The meeting concluded with reminders of upcoming events, including a tour at Boulder Peak and the annual Marion Chamber meeting, reinforcing the board's dedication to community involvement.

Overall, the decisions made during this meeting reflect the Linn-Mar School Board's commitment to improving educational facilities and fostering a supportive environment for both students and staff.
