Vincennes board approves annual public school transfer statement required by HB 1381
Summary
The board approved the district's annual public school transfer statement, as required by House Bill 1381, outlining capacities across the high school, middle school and four elementary schools; a trustee verbally opposed the motion.
At its June meeting, the Vincennes Community School Corp. approved its annual public school transfer statement, a report the presenter said is required by House Bill 1381. The statement lists primary buildings (the high school, middle school and four elementary schools) and indicates how many students the district can accept per grade across those facilities.
The staff presenter emphasized the district's policy of accepting students regardless of background, saying, "we do not turn away students... we take every student," and noted that the transfer statement has been an annual item since 2013. A board member moved to approve the transfer statement; another seconded the motion. The transcript records one trustee verbally opposing the motion during the vote; the board proceeded after the vote.
No enrollment caps or specific numbers per grade were discussed in the portions of the transcript provided to this report beyond the statement that the document lists primary buildings and capacities.
The meeting then moved on to closing remarks and welcomes for the new hires.
