Board approves Indiana Online partnership to expand high-school course options
Summary
Centerville-Abington board voted 4–0 to partner with Indiana Online, enabling students to take additional AP and credit-recovery courses; per-course cost was discussed at roughly $250–$275 for high-school students.
The Centerville-Abington Community Schools board voted unanimously to move forward with a partnership with Indiana Online to broaden course options for high-school students, including AP classes, credit recovery and the public-service course required for the enlistment seal.
District presenters said the online partnership would let students access classes the district does not offer in-person and could help students work toward academic and honor seals under the state’s updated diploma requirements. Staff said the district expects the arrangement to support AP access and earlier credit recovery options, and that preliminary per-course fees for high-school students are about $250 to $275.
Board members asked how instruction would be delivered; presenters said courses can include synchronous elements but also allow students to work at their own pace, and that the home school awards credit. After discussion, a motion to approve the partnership was seconded and the board approved it 4–0.
The motion as recorded in the meeting minutes approved the district moving forward with the Indiana Online partnership; the transcript did not list a mover or seconder by name in the segments provided. Staff said further implementation details, including enrollment and precise cost figures for individual students, will be handled during rollout.
