Board approves first reading of new high‑school courses and joins Hancock County Career Center agreement
Loading...
Summary
The board approved a first reading to petition the state for multiple new high-school courses including a proposed CTE‑math offering and voted to join a joint agreement supporting the Hancock County Career Center opening in August 2026.
The Greenfield-Central board reviewed proposed high‑school course additions and approved forwarding a petition to the state for further review. Mr. Currie (Speaker 14) presented summaries of 15 course proposals across five departments prompted by the new Indiana diploma requirements; one proposal described a tentative CTE‑math course aimed at freshmen and sophomores that embeds real‑world math in career‑technical contexts.
Board members approved a motion to petition the Indiana Department of Education to begin the state approval process for the new courses (first reading), with a second reading and vote to follow at a later meeting.
Separately, Mr. Currie presented a joint agreement among the four county school corporations, the Hancock County Career Center and partner Amplify that outlines 13 articles to structure the new career center opening August 2026. The board approved joining the agreement and encouraged community partners and donors to support equipment and program needs; the administration reported a six‑figure donation and explained partners have already committed more than $40 million toward the facility.
The vote to approve the career‑center joint agreement passed by voice vote; no board member opposed at the meeting.
