April 8th, 2024: eLearning Day

MSD Decatur Seal

At the February 13th School Board Meeting, a recommendation was approved to make Monday April 8th, 2024, an eLearning day for all of MSD of Decatur Township. This is due to the solar eclipse that will pass directly over central Indiana on this day. Students will not report to school. This will be the first total solar eclipse passing directly over Indiana in 819 years! While the total eclipse is a historic event and educational opportunity, district administration and the School Board of Trustees considered multiple factors in making this decision including safety concerns related to the long solar eclipse, as well as potential traffic issues with visitors to the area near dismissal times. Because central Indiana is one of the best places to view the eclipse, the Indianapolis area will likely host thousands of visitors! Look for more specific information regarding the eLearning day requirements from each school as April 8th approaches.
