Argos School Board Votes to Move Forward With Argos Academy Plan

Argos Superintendent Ned Speicher approached the school board this week with a proposal to use the former administration building for an educational resource center, according to draft minutes of their Monday night meeting.

Superintendent Speicher told board members that Argos Academy would be able to serve the educational needs of students who have been expelled from Argos Schools. He said the facility could also be a place for students who would benefit from a smaller learning environment that would help them develop skills that could help them adjust to the larger classroom setting.

The minutes state that additionally, his plan proposed utilizing the Academy as a center for ACT/SAT preparation, advanced high school credit and enrichment credit courses, adult education courses and summer school. The board voted unanimously to approve moving forward with the Argos Academy.
