Appears Clay High and a 1 in 3 chance of remaining a high school Once people read about this plan think a lot of discussion will follow What has been the community reaction to that option?

They are upset with how the monies are being spent from the referendum. Besides Adams, the other three high school are at about 50% capacity. But it doesn't seem to matter to the public. I don't want any school that covers grade 6-12. Not good. If you make Clay an athletic facility, how are the kids going to get out there. No bus service.

New Prairie is open Week 2 and Week 7. Looks as if Twin Lakes dropped the Cougars for SB Clay. So now in week 2 Clay has 2 games with Twin Lakes and Goshen. SB Riley has openings week 5 and 7. If anyone has updated information please share New Prairie plays Riley week 7 Unknown of week 5 for Riley, rumor is an Indy school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet…if Clay shuts down does the Career Academy take its place in the NIC South🤔. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people left once they knew Washington was not going to close. I want to know how Clay needs $35M of repairs. Putting 6-7-8 graders in a high school building is absurd here. Turning Clay into a sports complex that they say is needed. Really? They said nothing about how much money it would cost to implement this plan. It was a very bizarre meeting.

South Bend hasn't taken care of their city parks, city baseball diamonds, city tennis courts, city basketball courts, I do not see them taking care of the "Clay Sports Complex". South Bend does not have the student population to support 4 high schools and needs to downsize. I remember a suggestion to close both Washington and Clay and reopen LaSalle as a high school. I think this is a great idea, but too outside the box thinking for South Bend. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel ball has made rec leagues pretty much non-existent anymore. No one plays basketball at parks unless they are going to the king center or Charles Black Center, which they just remodeled. It makes sense to make Clay into a sports complex. South Bend needs to compete to retain students. Especially with Marian about to build an indoor sports facility.

Our disfunctional school board will not close buildings because they fear a charter taking them over. They want to hold 2 closed buildings under one plan for future grade school use.

ASJCPUMA Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Attended the meeting about SB schools last night. Kareema Fowler, Chief Business Person said Clay will be open for 22-23. She laso said that these isdeas/proposal are a couple of years away. Based on the reaction last night Clay Twp Residents and alumni will fight to keep their school open. They also are exploring leaving the SB schools and forming their own school corpoartion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Center Twp. on the other side of town is leaving the corporation and joining with John Glenn. It can be done. I live in Clay Twp and the people are not happy. And there is a lot more money out this way that in Center Twp. It would possibly destroy the SB schools if they left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nice for the Adams kids, lose their head coach and a player or 2 a month before the season officially begins. I’m sure Adams will find a top replacement in no time.

Adams, Riley and Washington should co-op their football programs and move forward as a single 6A entity. Find 1 solid HC who has the vision to lead the program for the next decade. Hammond has done this by consolidating football down to two schools (Central and Morton) Indy (IPS) has done this by consolidating football from over a dozen schools to just a few. Clay should contract. Edited June 28, 2022 by DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASJCPUMA Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Well if Clay becomes a 400 student high school for the arts then they may not have any sports There seems to be a lot of excitement around Riley with their new coach and staff Let's see how this plays out when the season starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
