Batesville board approves MOU for single‑track bike trail linking high school to Lyon College
Summary
The Batesville School District board voted unanimously (5–0, two absent) to approve a memorandum of understanding with the City of Batesville for a proposed single‑track trail connecting Batesville High School, Lyon College, the "Flow Zone" and "XL Enduro track." The district packet says the MOU requires no district match if a grant is funded.
The Batesville School District Board of Directors approved a memorandum of understanding with the City of Batesville on Aug. 5 to support a proposed single‑track bicycle trail connecting Batesville High School to Lyon College and on‑campus features called the "Flow Zone" and "XL Enduro track." Interim Superintendent David Campbell introduced the motion; the board voted 5–0 with two members absent.
The agenda abstract attached to the MOU states there is no financial obligation or matching requirement for the district if the city’s grant application is funded, and that the city would seek a district coordination partner to handle strategy and logistics. "Move to approve the MOU with the city of Batesville regarding the single track trail connecting Batesville High School to Lyon College and the 'Flow Zone' and 'XL Enduro track'," David Campbell said when offering the motion.
Board members recorded unanimous yes votes from the five members present. The packet notes White River Health is partnering with the city on a Rural Health Transformation grant that includes the trail concept. The motion carries no immediate fiscal commitment from the district; further steps would depend on grant award and any subsequent coordination agreement.
