Centerville-Abington board approves partnership with Indiana Online to expand course options
Summary
The Centerville-Abington Com Schs board voted 4-0 to approve a partnership with Indiana Online to broaden AP and credit-recovery offerings; staff said per-course costs for high school students run about $250–$275.
The Centerville-Abington Com Schs Board voted unanimously to move forward with a partnership with Indiana Online, which staff said will broaden the district’s course offerings and support new diploma requirements. The board recorded a 4-0 voice vote to approve the partnership.
Superintendent Mike McCoy and other presenters said the arrangement would let students access classes the district does not currently offer, help students pursuing the enlistment/public-service seal and provide more AP options. Staff said the platform could also be used for earlier credit recovery so freshmen and sophomores stay on track to graduate.
Officials told trustees the cost is charged per student, per course, and estimated the fee for high-school courses at about $250–$275. The board asked staff to return with final cost details and logistics; presenters said the district would handle enrollment and credits would be awarded by the local school. The motion to approve the partnership passed 4-0.
The board did not set an implementation date in the discussion recorded in the transcript; trustees asked staff to follow up on specific costs and enrollment mechanics before broader rollout.
