Fairfield board approves reconfiguration of Millersburg school from K-8 to K-6

The Fairfield Community Schools Board unanimously approved reconfiguring Millersburg Elementary-Middle School from a K-8 building to Millersburg Elementary School as a K-6 building and directed district staff to file a School Profile Amendment and update the Indiana Department of Education master file. The change was approved during the board's June 12 meeting. Board President Marilee Keim and all voting board members supported the motion; Brian Wogoman moved to approve and Aaron Rink seconded. Monica Kegerreis, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, confirmed the administrative steps to reflect the change in state records. The reconfiguration will alter the grade span reported for the Millersburg facility to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and requires a School Profile Amendment to update state records. The minutes show no additional conditions or a recorded public discussion about the change during the meeting. Board members voted without recorded opposition. The motion passed unanimously, and Kegerreis said she will file the required amendment and update the IDOE master file to reflect the new grade configuration. The board did not record a timeline for when the amendment will take effect beyond noting that the district will update the IDOE filing. No budget or student reassignment details were provided in the meeting minutes.
