The Regular School Board Meeting for Central Consolidated Schools took place on July 24, 2025, focusing on key agreements and operational updates.

One of the primary agenda items was the discussion of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Indiana University regarding student teachers and teacher residents. The MOU is set to cover a four-year period and outlines the responsibilities of both the school district and the university. It includes eligibility criteria and requirements for participants, as well as details on background checks for student teacher candidates, which the district conducts routinely.

The board members acknowledged that the language used in the MOU is standard and typical for such agreements, indicating a smooth approval process. There were no significant questions raised during the discussion, suggesting consensus on the matter.

Overall, the meeting progressed efficiently, with the MOU being a key highlight, reflecting the district's commitment to enhancing its educational programs through partnerships with higher education institutions. Further steps will be taken to finalize the agreement pending board approval.
