Superintendent highlights athletics successes; board authorizes calendar tweak after state waiver
Summary
The superintendent reviewed winter athletic achievements and exemplary sportsmanship reports; the board authorized modifying the school calendar after an Indiana Department of Education waiver and approved a proposed two‑hour early dismissal on Good Friday.
The superintendent used the March 12 meeting to highlight winter athletics accomplishments and to explain a calendar modification authorized by a state waiver.
The superintendent read several awards and recognitions across sports — naming student athletes and coaches honored with WRC and All‑by‑county citations, noting regional qualifiers and state finalists in diving and swimming, and citing exemplary behavior reports from IHSAA officials. The superintendent quoted an exemplary report, stating that the Fountain Central teams displayed positive sportsmanship and coaching.
Separately, the board granted the superintendent permission to modify the school calendar after the district received a waiver from the Indiana Department of Education. The superintendent said an e‑learning day was waived and described plans to keep student days as scheduled, adjust staff work days around graduation, and propose a two‑hour early dismissal on Good Friday so families can observe religious services or travel. The board authorized the superintendent to implement the calendar modification; the transcript does not include the specific waiver document or its reference number.
The meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m.
