September Board Meeting
Posted on 09/22/2026
This is the image for the news article titled September Board Meeting Indian Lake school officials touted their state report card results and moves to save taxpayers money during their regular Board of Education meeting in September. 
State of Ohio school district report cards were released last week and once again, Indian Lake scored the highest in Logan County with 4-stars. IL Superintendent Dr. Rob Underwood was pleased to report that Indian Lake is above the state average in all tested areas and continues to out-perform districts that are similar in size and demographics.  
"Our middle school has just continued to show tremendous growth, so that was a highlight area. They actually had a 4.5 rating overall."
Underwood continued, "Some other areas that were quite impressive, at the elementary our third grade ELA scores were around 95-96% and our Algebra scores at the high school were the highest they've ever been."
In addition, District Treasurer Brady Hipsher was able to complete the process of refinancing the district's existing bonds that paid for the construction of the elementary school. Dr. Underwood explains that the district refinanced the bonds once in 2017 and had the opportunity to try to realize some savings again this fall. 
"What it does is it saves about $245,000 over the remaining years left on the bonds that will be paid off in 2034, so that constitutes about $30,000 in saving per year less in tax dollars that will be collected from our constituents." 
The board also approved the overnight trip for the ILHS/OHP FFA to attend the FFA National Convention at the end of October and accepted several donations, including a $40,000 donation from the Indian Lake Eagles' charitable gaming funds.  
The next Indian Lake Board of Education meeting is set for Monday, October 19th at 5:30 pm.
