Indian Lake Schools is saying goodbye to a beloved longtime Laker and bringing on several new employees.
The Indian Lake Board of Education met in regular session recently.
They voted to hire a handful of new teachers to replace several retirees at Indian Lake Elementary School.
Superintendent Dr. Rob Underwood said there were a total of 36 applicants for the four positions.
"We had an excellent pool of candidates and we are really excited that these four individuals are going to join our Laker family."
In addition, the board voted to accept the retirement of High School Assistant Principal Dave Coburn. Mr. Coburn has 35 years in education and has served as a teacher, coach, and administrator for the district. Underwood says Mr. Coburn will be missed.
"Just can't say enough about the job he has done for this district and the time and effort that he's put into it. He's been a mentor, not only to me, but so many others in this district."
The board also accepted several policy revisions as recommended by NEOLA and accepted a $10,359.000 grant from the Indian Lake Fraternal Order of Eagles from the Charitable/Gaming Donation Fund to support academics and athletics.
Finally, Dr. Underwood and board members presented certificates of recognition to our three wrestlers who earned State Runner-Up at the recent OHSAA Wrestling Meet. Owen Pummel, Maddie Miller and Christopher Timms were all present to accept their award.
The Indian Lake Board of Education will meet again on Monday, April 21.
