MSD of Wabash County will be offering Indiana College Core Certificates in a partnership with Indiana University Kokomo, the school board learned in a Feb. 14 meeting.

Indiana College Core Certificate (ICC) is a block of 30 college-level credit hours of coursework with specific competencies and learning outcomes found in general education programs, Mike Keaf faber, superintendent, told the board.

“They can get 30 hours which is roughly the first year of college,” Keaffaber said.

The ICC will transfer to any Indiana public col- lege or university.

“We piece together our own college credits without IUK but it’s kind of nice to be able to partner with them so we can stay on top of things like this,” Keaffaber said.

In another matter, the board approved the appointment of new employees: Ben Nesler as teacher at White’s High School; Brandi Collins as paraprofessional at Southwood Elementary; David Keith Allen as bus driver at Metro North; Brock Sizelove as Southwood High School varsity tennis coach; Jared Brooks as volunteer wrestling coach at Northfield High School; Collin Dawes as head golf coach at Northfield High School; and
