Episode 105: Grateful for a Strong Community

We have strong schools because we live in a strong community.

Early in November, our community voted to renew our 2018 operating referendum. This Thanksgiving, as we think about all that we’re thankful for as a school corporation, that certainly rises to the top of the list. We are very grateful that we get to serve in a community that supports our schools in such a meaningful way, voting to allow us to maintain competitive pay for teachers, smaller class sizes, and opportunities for our students.

An incredible team of about 40 people worked together over the last three months to help educate our community about the referendum renewal. Retired Avon Schools Superintendent Dr. Maggie Hoernemann and Hendricks Regional Health COO/Avon parent Shane Sommers co-chaired that effort. Maggie and Shane join Dr. Wyndham to talk about the project, share lessons learned, and thank the community for turning out on behalf of Avon's 11,000 students and 1,600 employees.
