The Indian Lake Board of Education is embarking on the search to replace longtime District Treasurer Coleen Reprogle, a dedicated employee who has served the district for nearly 30 years.
During the regular board meeting earlier this week, representatives from the Midwest Regional Educational Service Center outlined the process for filling this crucial position.
Superintendent Dr. Rob Underwood expressed deep appreciation for Reprogle’s commitment to the district:
Reprogle plans to retire on July 31, 2025, due to health concerns and a desire to join her husband in retirement.
The advertisement for the treasurer position will be posted in November, with applications accepted until the end of the year.
The goal is for the new treasurer to work alongside Reprogle for several months to ensure a smooth transition.
Other actions during the Board of Education meeting included:
