Presenters said most of the turf has been laid and finishing work (cutting in logos, trimming) was expected the week following the report; the building roof was completed with TPO membrane and crews were beginning to set rooftop HVAC units. Inside the new facility, staff said a concrete slab has been poured and crews were constructing block walls and completing underground electrical and plumbing work. Track curbing was largely installed and will receive the rubberized track surfacing after asphalt and cure time. Presenters said bleachers are scheduled for installation in June and July (east side in June, west side in July) and the press box will be set with the west‑side bleachers; the transcript does not specify square footage of the press box.

The presenters reported a key cost saving tied to a zoning variance: the Board of Zoning Appeals approved shielding rooftop equipment on three sides rather than four, avoiding approximately $150,000 in additional rooftop screening costs that district staff said would otherwise have been incurred. Staff also described earthwork to raise the complex grade for drainage, reuse of onsite dirt to limit contingency expenditures, and permit sequencing that required temporary fencing to continue mobilization.

Presenters described follow‑on work: finishing interior block walls, installing concessions and family restrooms, completing the maintenance building pad and setting roof trusses. Staff noted other upcoming projects including junior high gym floor replacement (planned to start June 1), auditorium upgrades (floor, curtains, sound) likely to be scheduled for winter to avoid summer band use, and an Allison HVAC project with longer lead time targeted for 2026.

No formal board vote was recorded on the facilities report in the transcript excerpt; the item was presented for information and included several contractor and staff updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Speedway School Board - April 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District staff and contractors reported that the Speedway Athletic Complex is advancing: most turf is down, the roof is completed and rooftop units are being staged; bleachers and a press box are scheduled for June–July with an overall completion target in August, weather permitting.","taxTitle","Town of Speedway, Marion County, Indiana","taxId",64383,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6084109,"Speedway presents 2025 summer school plan emphasizing iRead remediation for grades 2–3 and expanded secondary online credit options",226,624000,850000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2923101-d87898f543f1fe6b13817d9f7f00a1de&start=624&end=850","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2923101-d87898f543f1fe6b13817d9f7f00a1de/thumbnail_624000.jpg","/articles/6084109/Town-of-Speedway/Marion-County/Indiana/Speedway-presents-2025-summer-school-plan-emphasizing-iRead-remediation-for-grades-23-and-expanded-secondary-online-credit-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6084109-e04d1e765d1b0f63bea40c94e491ee82/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142318&Signature=mSJ1EiBh-xRJmSv4R~U3Vle-pAUHb~k6MSxe6C-X53FL3DxTYvFEcanBSjDq5ekuS~Gm9CQQFlK87cUcmKn9sMoWIsarmURsQpHZLpuxnkaMAMa478UOHTm84vTvfZvPMCGBe2I2hii0xdlagCIgP6swXcCixi5aib3w3SP0LWJitBbP9cE8DHJyMT9bqbtQeNEJkkHHNYLoibZ-uSBixL-obn1Ex386XTCQO~ThTdnAdCr8zcsoKlU~esg233fUw~N5nEZIt5-MuKZ0KXqHqXYwRJyEjXnjKeY56Qe07FB2cpSKOfvhyAZfeZaPiMuqK7ux6GN-iYikOOoamTNx8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff presented a preliminary plan for the 2025 summer school program at the April 8 Board of Trustees meeting for the Town of Speedway. The proposal mirrors prior summer offerings with additions focused on reading instruction linked to state I‑read requirements and secondary online credit options.

The program as presented includes elementary and junior high review and remediation classes in language arts, reading and math. The district will offer a targeted reading instruction class for students who were in grade 2 or grade 3 this past year and did not pass the I‑read assessment; these students will receive remediation and another opportunity to take the assessment. Staff explained that third graders who fail the spring administration may have one more opportunity during the school year and, if still unsuccessful, will be offered summer remediation and a subsequent testing opportunity. Staff estimated the number of Speedway students potentially requiring a good‑cause exemption is approximately five, but noted that criteria for such exemptions are now more stringent and exemptions are applied only under defined circumstances; staff also noted that good‑cause exemptions are not issued for second graders (they apply at third grade).

The proposal also includes online classes available to secondary students for high‑school credit, elementary enrichment in reading, writing, STEM and health and wellness, a specific elementary band instruction offering for incoming junior high students, and marching band for grades 9–12. Staff said the district will make the handbook and program information searchable online before the start of next school year.

A board member asked whether remediation for second graders and third graders would be identical; staff explained the distinction in testing windows and remediation timing. Staff emphasized that the district’s historical record of K–2 instruction helps many students reach proficiency, and that student mobility is a chief challenge for passing rates. Staff urged continued support for third‑grade curriculum planning to manage classes that may contain students who have passed, those who have not and those retaking the assessment.

No formal board action was recorded for the summer school report in the transcript excerpt provided; the item was presented for board information and questions.","District staff outlined a summer program for 2025 that will include targeted I‑read remediation for some second‑ and third‑grade students, online high‑school credit courses for secondary students, elementary enrichment and band offerings.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6084114,"Speedway Board approves student handbook, E‑rate upgrades, recreation funding and personnel report",27,196000,223000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2923101-d87898f543f1fe6b13817d9f7f00a1de&start=196&end=223","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2923101-d87898f543f1fe6b13817d9f7f00a1de/thumbnail_196000.jpg","/articles/6084114/Town-of-Speedway/Marion-County/Indiana/Speedway-Board-approves-student-handbook-Erate-upgrades-recreation-funding-and-personnel-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6084114-8284555e3f48d2c2d1dae1b935715aad/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142318&Signature=M8o69XSkdkkHp4Xoverhai8Ap5MWANxvslqcqzwXgthTjdefopafldCza0sO4y2zB02JvzryPtAe1kbvbuMfSrp8d9ijPzMLGLZNGfC~YpSbcFgZzoYqxYmQEk3TiDxkKdTFislW2R35vE8UDZut3vo1sKm8UyahjxwQvsDfTetFU5qeLMGEPRuSX3xXoYizG-SJYrwFdy0C278iOttRlz~s-iRpEGPbLS-gegyUCYui6sVLoDtS9EiGso2djZCfXMK8AW98AX-0jxF9QBkK270CGMKf17JxI2NorUPr-01XgOjIbcb2mnI0RmTELPUgL-o6W-VAMpELEblWNd~HGQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Trustees for the Town of Speedway on April 8 approved a series of routine and funding items, voting unanimously on motions to adopt the 2025–26 student handbook, accept an E‑rate network upgrade proposal, fund summer recreation programming and accept the personnel report; the board also formally acknowledged $222,537.21 in grants.

Why it matters: The handbook sets policy and references the board as the Board of Trustees throughout the document; the E‑rate package funds technology upgrades that district staff said will expand wireless access and network resiliency; the recreation funding supports town-run youth programs and free swim lessons; personnel actions update staffing at multiple schools.

The board voted 5–0 to approve the student handbook for the 2025–26 school year, with the explicit caveat recorded in the meeting that minor editorial changes do not need to be returned to the board but “substantial” changes prompted by new legislation will be brought back for formal consideration. (Motion and second recorded; vote tally recorded as 5–0.)

The board voted 5–0 to approve an E‑rate network upgrade package. District presenters described the federal E‑rate funding request as covering switches, licenses, wireless access points, controllers and firewall subscriptions. Staff reported an initial total project cost of $164,298 and said the district’s corrected share is $44,709.60. A district presenter called the proposal “a great deal for our taxpayers here in Speedway.” (Motion and second recorded; vote tally recorded as 5–0.)

The board voted 5–0 to approve $15,000 to support summer recreation programs run by the Speedway Parks and Recreation Department, including a recommended $7,000 allocation for free swim lessons. Tammy Smith of the Parks and Recreation department was named in the packet as the program lead; board members praised the long‑standing town partnership that supports small class sizes and activities for children. (Motion and second recorded; vote tally recorded as 5–0.)

The board voted 5–0 to accept the personnel report as presented. The personnel report as read into the record listed one dismissal (David Hunter, custodian, April 4), several resignations (including Nathan Day, assistant principal at Speedway High School; James Sims, head wrestling coach at Speedway Junior High; Kendra Lucky, girls golf positions; Alicia Goss, cafeteria worker; and Ken Allison, school nurse) and two hires recommended for approval (Heather Gorgas, recommended as principal of Newby Elementary School; Timothy Woodlock, assistant baseball coach at Speedway Junior High). (Motion and second recorded; vote tally recorded as 5–0.)

The board also acknowledged receipt of $222,537.21 in grants; the meeting record shows the amount acknowledged but does not list line‑item details in the transcript.

The meeting concluded after a recognition of visitors and administrative business; no other formal actions were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.","At its April 8 meeting the Board of Trustees for the Town of Speedway approved several routine and budget items unanimously, including the 2025–26 student handbook, an E‑rate technology upgrade package, $15,000 for summer recreation programming and the personnel report; the board also acknowledged $222,537.21 in grants.","actionData","errors"]
