The Indian Lake Board of Education wrapped up business for 2024 with a quick regular meeting recently.
The board approved several grants coming to the district including a $1,500 grant from the Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Services Board of Logan and Champaign Counties to the ILMS Girls in Pearls and Guys In Ties programs for programming and supplies. They also approved a $5,000 Mary Rutan Health Community Grant for Indian Lake Middle School to bring in a mental health speaker for staff and students. Finally, they accepted $15,000 from the Indian Lake Athletic Boosters as a donation to the IL Athletic Department. In addition, the board hired Mrs. Missy Mefford as the head ILHS Volleyball Coach.
The Board also recognized four Lakers who recently earned All State Honors in football. Quest Clay was named First Team All Ohio, Brodey Reisinger and Noah Shirk earned Second Team All Ohio and Madden Lillard was named Honorable Mention.
The board will meet for an organizational meeting on January 8th at 5 pm in the Board Office. Board president Gabe Wickline will serve as president pro tempore for that gathering. During that meeting, board members will elect officers and set the meeting schedule for the rest of 2025.
