The students, led by Principal Tom Ray, demonstrated distance learning techniques and showed off their leadership ability. These students will eventually teach other grades at Washington, as well as students from Warsaw Community High School, about their hands-on activities in Warsaw lakes and streams.
While the students were answering questions from the board, Ray was projecting a live-stream of other students researching in a local creek.
In other news, school attorney Randy Hesser, of Warrick & Boyn LLP, discussed the building projects at Lincoln Elementary, Edgewood Middle School and Washington STEM Academy. The board moved to accept six components to the project, those being the need for the project; the execution of the current lease; a construction fund; a resolution of accepting contracts for the building project; the usage of bonds; and a post-completion compliance agreement.
Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert expects to review all the project plans in October. Chief Financial Officer Kevin Scott said that the project shouldn’t cost over $37,000,800. Property taxes to cover the expansion is estimated to be 13.8 cents per $100 of home value.
Hoffert stated that enrollment number for the district is 7,059 students for the month. He and the rest of the board were pleased with the successful homecoming week.[[In-content Ad]]
