4.2.6 RETIREMENTS

The new Indiana diploma creates student scheduling issues.  We propose using Edmentum to allow those with scheduling issues to take geography in the summer.  The class will only be offered to those who do not have the space to meet the requirements.  The projected cost is $3,200.

The basketball program proposes combining the 3 K-8 middle school girls basketball teams into one team.  The number of students participating continues to decline both locally and nationally.  We already are forced to combine teams each year in order to have grade level teams for those interested.  The combination will allow for better practice and scheduling of competition.  Making the decision now allows the transition and preparation to be more smooth.  We feel this is best for the athletes and the overall health of the ladies program. 

We ask the board to accept the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Engineering Grant in the amount of $40,000.00 awarded to Gibson Southern High School. This grant will support the PLTW Engineering program over the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 school years, and I ask the board to authorize the administration to execute the Grant Agreement.

The softball team will be in their annual tournament March 25-28 in Murfreesboro, TN.  They are requesting to spend three nights.  We ask the board for permission to participate in the over night trip.
