IL January Board of Education Meeting
Posted on 01/23/2025
Indian Lake Board of Education members accepted donations, recognized retirements and looked to the district's financial future during their regular meeting in January.
To start the meeting, Vicky Boots and Sharon DeVault from the Indian Lake Watershed Project presented Superintendent Dr. Rob Underwood with a $5,000 donation to the Indian Lake Music Department from the annual Nashville Hitmakers Concert. The country music event has been successful over the past 13 summers. However, with the recent death of event coordinator Sandy Helgeson, there is some question as to whether it will continue. Dr. Underwood thanked them for their many years of support.
IL Director of Special Education Services Krystal Loy submitted her annual Special Education and Title One report. Of the district's 1328 students, 341 (or more than 25%) of them are served by her staff with either an IEP or 504 education plan.
Board members also accepted the upcoming retirement of long-time ILES teacher Kris Crockett. She will finish her career in May with nearly 34 years of service to the district.
Finally, board members went into executive session to interview candidates to replace retiring District Treasurer Coleen Reprogle. The hope is to hire a qualified treasurer to work with Mrs. Reprogle for a few months before she ends her tenure this summer.
The Indian Lake Board of Education will meet next on Wednesday, February 19th at 6:30 pm in the Board Office.
