Batesville School Board approves high school courses for 17-18 school year

batesville-bulldogsBATESVILLE, Ind. — The Batesville School board approved the High School curriculum and course guide for the 2017-2018 school year.

Mr. Andy Allen, High School Principal, said some of these courses would also be available at Ivy Tech in Batesville.

One change for the high school is in the Physical Education curriculum.

For advanced PE, there would be different options including weight lifting and lifetime fitness.

In other business, the school was approached by the Ripley County EMA to approve an agreement to share resources with the county in the event of a natural or manmade disaster.

Tim Hunter said, in such an event, the old gymnasium would be used, which would allow the school’s normal day-to-day operations to continue.

The school board approved the request.
