The search is on to replace one of Indian Lake School's most dedicated and important employees. 
During their regular October meeting, Indian Lake Board of Education members heard from leaders of the Midwest Regional Educational Service Center about how they will conduct the search to fill the position of longtime District Treasurer Coleen Reprogle.  
Indian Lake Superintendent Dr. Rob Underwood says it's been an honor to work with her and she will be very difficult to replace. 
"I can't imagine anyone who has given more of her time just to ensure that we're in good financial standing." He continued, "I don't know if I've ever known anyone so dedicated and who cares so much about the future of this district."
After nearly 30 years of service and some recent health concerns, Reprogle plans to join her husband in retirement on July 31, 2025. 
The advertisement for the new IL Treasurer will be posted in November and applications will be accepted until the end of the year. The aim is that the new treasurer will be able to work alongside Reprogle for a few months to facilitate a smooth transition. 
The board also authorized four new supplemental positions in exchange for four supplementals that had not been filled for several years. This move will ensure that popular after-school activities stemming from the expired 21st Century Grant at Indian Lake High School will continue. Those clubs include ESports, Robotics, Welding/Carpentry and Outdoor Activities (Archery).
Finally, board members set a Special Meeting for Friday at 3 pm in the Board Office to consider a potential memorandum of understanding with the Indian Lake Education Association and the Indian Lake Association of Classified Employees. 
The next regular IL Board of Education meeting is set for Monday, November 18th at 6:30 pm.
