The presenter said the grant is structured as a five-year strategic investment with a required 20% local match of $221,000. The district plans high-dosage tutoring as a primary use: 1,500 hours of tutoring annually delivered in small groups of one to four students and led by district teachers to align tutoring with classroom instruction.

Officials said the program has already launched at the high school and in three of four elementary buildings, with the junior high to follow shortly after fall break. Elementary and junior high implementation will prioritize students performing below grade-level benchmarks on state assessments, the presenter said.

The presenter also described how the grant will sustain and expand the district’s Advanced Placement program. Speedway students earned 528 qualifying AP scores last school year; district staff said AP program expenses and incentives exceeded $100,000. The grant will cover AP exam fees, secure AP incentive payments for five more years and fund teacher professional development to expand course offerings.

Board members asked logistical and budgeting questions. District staff said the full Phase 2 award arrived as a single installment and that the district has five years to provide the required local match. The district indicated planned spending for high-dosage tutoring is expected to remain fairly even across the five-year grant period.

District staff said they applied for Lilly Endowment Phase 3 in August and expect an award decision in December; Phase 3 could award up to $25 million and emphasizes STEAM initiatives, the presenter said.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Speedway School Board - October 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District officials said the $884,000 Lilly Endowment Phase 2 grant will fund five years of high-dosage tutoring (1,500 hours annually), cover AP exam fees and incentives, and requires a 20% local match of $221,000.","taxTitle","Town of Speedway, Marion County, Indiana","taxId",64383,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6543905,"School Town of Speedway board ratifies two-year teachers contract with 3% raise first year",139,119000,258000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5905729-15b00e532f26662970a115aaac010d95&start=119&end=258","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5905729-15b00e532f26662970a115aaac010d95/thumbnail_119000.jpg","/articles/6543905/Town-of-Speedway/Marion-County/Indiana/School-Town-of-Speedway-board-ratifies-two-year-teachers-contract-with-3-raise-first-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6543905-8950e0b4737d8dd7af5537e4ac43ecf8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183207&Signature=RR1~DPTkVVrJ7KyCV5tE0txGeHswxoOAyJEyy9dYxNP2FFwhC93vtItRVUI7mMJ~yFjM0c4QjuYU2ZdOHpEAE38P0jxrjXsotCCdmkJF3jTJ0xaOppWV3Xt0GpP9r03U9pmf2d9a~RbqrnVvjMUc7-OuWxusynABYi6Se2yN07piXlHMUgW44IBkAsZaCvSR4JA~DbI35mJG~DJ~ua5gaHRZpUqZ9Y8Xl-5dMWs6RkPIJn~PbsdKw46GVKy7UXXsZifng61B1PfS5NSAh7i8sD5W0~1m42ZV7wN4fRjhdWzyz1onDvHauJgccKoTDas1MgFvxVhkQejn7Qoh5YOHbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The School Town of Speedway board on Oct. 2025 unanimously approved a two-year collective bargaining agreement with teachers that boosts pay by 3% in the first contract year and by a flat $1,820 in the second year.

The agreement, presented by district staff on behalf of the teachers association and the district’s administration team, covers 2025–2027 and includes pay adjustments intended to keep teacher compensation near the top among Indiana school corporations, the presenter said.

School staff described the first-year increase as a 3% across-the-board raise. The second contract year provides $1,820 across the salary schedule \"from the top to the bottom,\" the presenter said. The package also adds extracurricular coaching stipends, including new positions for cheerleading and wrestling.

Board members moved and seconded approval during the meeting. The board voted 4–0 in favor; district representatives then signed the agreement at the meeting.

Board members praised the agreement as consistent with the district’s budget priorities to invest in classroom staff. No dissenting votes were recorded.
