MEMBER NEWS & HAPPENINGS

Avon Middle School West Groundbreaking Event

Avon, IN. Avon Community School Corporation (ACSC) ceremoniously turned the dirt to celebrate the start of construction for a new middle school on Tuesday, September 26. The new middle school, Avon Middle School West, will be located at 1204 South County Road 450 East.

After considerable public input and feedback, in December 2022, the Avon Board of School Trustees chose a strategic growth model to position ACSC for anticipated continued enrollment growth based on demographic studies. In addition to constructing Avon Middle School West, corporation leaders will transition ACSC from the current K-4 elementary, 5-6 intermediate, and 7-8 middle school model to a K-5 elementary, 6-8 middle school model with the opening of Avon Middle School West. This realignment maximizes usage of current schools – Avon Intermediate School East and Avon Intermediate School West will become elementary schools – and will reduce the number of school transitions for students. It also accomplishes the important goals of providing more opportunities for students and maintaining target class sizes at each middle school. Smaller schools, smaller class sizes, and fewer transitions generally support higher academic achievement based on achievement studies.

Changes in the Recycling Landscape Across Hendricks County

Residents of Central Indiana have experienced significant changes related to trash and recycling services over the past year. Waste Management’s (WM) acquisition of Ray’s Trash Service in the fall of 2022 has opened the door for some new, smaller waste management companies to enter the marketplace, but it has also disrupted a system that many in Hendricks County were accustomed to.

The Hendricks County Recycling District is a unit of Hendricks County government that promotes waste reduction, recycling, and proper waste management in the community. The Recycling District does not provide curbside trash or recycling services but does provide five Tox-Away Days annually, two seasonal Yard Waste Recycling Centers, and three Recycling Drop-off Centers across the county. These services help residents manage the waste they generate.
