The work trucks and construction crews around Heyworth Schools this time of year signify the start of project season. 

Superintendent Dr. Lisa Taylor explains that big projects around this district this summer will include upgrading the wireless network, new flooring in areas, and an ag building overhaul courtesy of an anonymous $750,000 donation. 

Dr. Taylor feels that the anonymous donation was a huge blessing for the district's ag department. It will allow them to expand the building's storage and updates it's equipment, adding to the already robust program in Heyworth. 

Summer is also the time for turnover, and Dr. Taylor states that they have a handful of instructors who will be leaving the district and whose spots need to be filled. She notes that while they do not struggle to find candidates who are qualified, the general pool of applicants is small. 

We'll hear more from Taylor in the weeks ahead on the use of technology in classrooms in the coming school year. Learn more about Heyworth Schools by visiting husd4.org or by finding the district's Facebook page.
