Summary

Mayor Scott Faddis said the city awarded 10 local educators more than $80,000 through an educator innovation grant and that Becky Schroeder at Hamilton Southeastern High School launched a VR pilot; Faddis said $1,000,000 was allotted to the program in 2024.

Mayor Scott Faddis said Fishers introduced new classroom technology this school year through the educator innovation grant program.

Faddis said the city awarded 10 local educators more than $80,000 last spring to support classroom innovation; he named Becky Schroeder of Hamilton Southeastern High School as one of the recipients who launched a virtual-reality pilot this fall. The mayor said $1,000,000 was allotted to the broader program in 2024.

The remarks were framed as project updates; the mayor did not present a formal policy change or funding vote in this recap. The transcript includes a phrasing ambiguity—"With half $1,000,000 allotted to this program in 2024"—which the mayor used while describing program funding.
