Hamilton Southeastern secondary students will be able to sleep later into the morning beginning next school year, thanks to new start time schedules approved by the HSE Board of School Trustees.
The new start times for fall 2021 are 7:40 a.m. to 2:10 p.m. for elementary, 8:20 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. for high school and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for intermediate/junior high school students.
The HSE Board of School Trustees approved her hiring in
a 5-2 vote
at a special meeting on Thursday, ending a process that started late last year when current superintendent Allen Bourff announced his retirement. Board members Brad Boyer and Suzanne Thomas were the no votes.
She’s currently assistant superintendent for the School Town of Munster and starts as the leader of HSE on July 1. She will be the first woman to lead the district in more than a decade.
The appointment wasn t without controversy. About two dozen protesters gathered outside of the meeting ahead of the vote, urging the board to vote no. They held signs that said things such as qualified staff matters, education not indoctrination and teach our kids how to think not what to think.
Hamilton Southeastern Schools to Host Solar Tours
Hamilton Southeastern Schools flipped the switch on two solar arrays in 2019.
The 4,800 panels power three schools Sand Creek Elementary, Sand Creek Intermediate and HSE Intermediate and Junior High and are expected to save $300,000 per year in utility costs.
An educational event at Sand Creek Elementary School on April 17 will give community members the opportunity to learn more about the school s decision to go solar.
“It will allow folks to check out those panels, see them in action. Hear from representatives from Hamilton Southeastern about why they decided to invest in solar and how the solar investment is saving them money,” Zach Schalk, of Solar United Neighbors, said.

Indiana lawmakers are in the middle of writing the state s next two-year budget. The $36
billion spending plan will help dictate what, if any, progress the state makes on one of its biggest challenges: teacher pay.
Like most states, Indiana is grappling with a teacher shortage. A recent report found that low pay and stagnating wage growth the lowest in the nation are exacerbating the problem in Indiana.
To evaluate the current state of pay for Hoosier teachers, IndyStar analyzed the collective bargaining reports for 288 school districts from the 2019-20 school year.
We found that recent investments in K-12 education have helped schools make modest gains, though many educators are warning that the latest budget proposal could erode that progress.
