Summary
The commission agreed to sponsor two modular training modules for the local school and noted that a portion of TIF funds can be used for further education; members said they will reach out to school administrators and revisit the item in August.
The Attica Redevelopment Commission agreed to sponsor two school training modules and discussed using a portion of TIF funds to support educator certification for dual-level courses.
The chair stated the commission is "sponsoring the 2 modules for the school training" and noted that certain TIF funds can be used for further education. A committee member said they would check with school administration about supporting teacher certification so the district could offer dual-credit or dual-level courses. Another member described the state program in Martinsville School Corporation as a model and said the modules allow students to begin vocational programs as early as eighth grade.
Members asked about logistics and noted most commissioners were on vacation; the chair said staff would reach out to school officials and bring more detail to the August meeting. No formal expenditure or vote was recorded in this meeting; the item was placed on the next meeting's agenda for follow-up.
