The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board voted to extend the contract with Community Health to provide nursing services in school buildings and sports medicine.  Attorney Chris Greisl told the board the extended pact is similar to the current contract.

In other items before the board Wednesday evening:

–In the past, high school graduation ceremonies were held on Saturday, with one school in the morning and the other in the afternoon.  In 2025, with the first graduation to be held at the Fishers Events Center, the format will change, with two evening graduation events.  On Wednesday, June 4, Fishers High School will have its graduation.  On the following evening, Thursday, June 5, the Hamilton Southeastern High School will hold its graduation ceremony.

–The board required no action on the price of school meals because they will not be increased in the coming school year.

–The board approved the science curriculum for grades K-6.

–Steve Loser, Director of K-12 Initiatives for HSE Schools, provided an update on the “journey of a Student” program, formerly known as “Portrait of a Graduate.”  See his PowerPoint presentation at this link.

–Superintendent Patrick Mapes reminded the board of the “Ring The Bell” event kicking off the start of the school year, coming August 1, 5:30-7:30, at the Fishers Nickel Plate Amphitheater.  The first day for students to be in class is Wednesday,  August 7.
