After being out of town most of Labor Day week, it is very good to be back home in Fishers.  While I was away, the biggest story by far centered on ILEARN test scores released by the Indiana Department of Education.  As I reported September 5th, HSE Schools rated highly compared to most schools around the state, but did see a drop in the scores compared to last year’s ISTEP testing.  I had been led to believe HSE Administrators would have some comment on these local scores when publicly released, but apparently there was a change and no comments have been provided.  Perhaps that will happen at this Wednesday’s HSE School Board meeting.

Speaking of the next school board meeting, Superintendent Allen Bourff is scheduled to provide the board an update  on possible plans to build a larger Durbin Elementary at another location in that area.  Let’s see what the latest developments hold on the future of Durbin.

Monday morning this week a groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled to kickoff reconstruction of the State Road 37 corridor.  The project will begin at 126th Street and SR 37, which is where the groundbreaking is set to happen.  LarryInFishers plans to be there.

Tuesday evening, the Fishers Test Kitchen will announce the first chefs to be chosen for the Yard development, allowing new chefs the chance to experiment in culinary experiments, without opening their own restaurants.  The Yard will begin opening restaurants and other shops toward the end of this year.

There are other items this week that could create some Fishers news.  In the meantime, thanks for reading LarryInFishers.com!
