The East Central Independent School District (ISD) is experiencing a population boom, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. That was the news shared Nov. 20 with district school board members by Dr. Stacy Tepera, president of Population and Survey Analysts. Tepera presented an update on a demographics study, based on the organization's most recent survey of the East Central ISD population. “We take your students and their addresses, and we place the student on the map and that's geocoding the student population,” said Tepera. “We use that to determine the density of students per home and every single...Article Link

Voters have rejected property-tax measures proposed by two school districts in the Wilson County News coverage area; results of a third proposal remained undecided as of press time Nov. 10. The East Central, La Vernia, and Nixon Smiley Consolidated independent school districts (ISDs) all had voter approval tax ratification elections (VATRE) on local ballots. The measures proposed moving several cents from each district's interest and sinking (I&S) portion of their property tax rates — used to pay down debt — and adding these cents to their maintenance and operations (M&O) portion of the tax rate; this would allow the districts...Article Link

All 9 Councilors were present in Chambers for this session.Quick recap:Approximately the first 45 minutes of the meeting were taken up with multiple citizen comments, many on the 444 East Central development proposal which while one of their complaints is that the Council doesn't listen to them, also ironically indicates that they haven't listened or don't understand the meaning of due processOne comment revealed the first annual Caregiver Appreciation day scheduled for Nov 7 at the Senior Center from 11 - 3 PM.

East Central's frustrating, injury-plagued 2025 campaign came to a close on Friday, Oct. 31, as they fell by a final score of 28-6 to Clemens at Hornet Stadium. The loss dropped the Hornets to 2-8 on the season and 1-7 in District 29-6A. This marks the first time that EC will miss the playoffs since 2022. The Hornets and the Buffaloes were locked in a virtual stalemate the entire first half, with the only scoring coming off a touchdown by Clemens midway through the first quarter. Neither offense could move on the other the rest of the way, giving the...Article Link

For the second time this season, the East Central Hornets found themselves on the short end of the stick in overtime.

This session shares the Finance Committee meeting conducted Wednesday, October 22, 2025. The Committee opened with 3 new members getting sworn in. The Committee also formally organized itself with votes to select George Conley as Chair, Natalie Riley as Vice-Chair and Lauren Nagel as ClerkQuick recap:The agenda could not be completed in the time allotted before the Town Council meeting at 7:00 PM. The planned 'deep dive' on Technology was the major item as it will be rescheduled to their Nov 5 meeting.During Citizen Comments, M Minnechelli spoke on the economics of development proposals, i.e. 444 E Central, and the need for some body, perhaps FinCom to weigh in to help clarify the numbers that are being mentioned which are conflicting and perhaps erroneous. The Town Administrator advised not weighing in on the specifics of 444 East Central as the public hearing is underway. However an understanding of the overall economics of development would be a good topic for a future meetingMuch of the discussion revolved around the fiscal issues currently being faced not just by Franklin but by most communities in the State. The "perfect storm" report by the MMA was referenced. The work underway at the State level to take a new look at local contributions for Chap 70 could affect our "hold harmless" situation. The Federal cuts will affect Mass revenues, and some of that will also affect our State funding.The MMA "perfect storm" report -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/19iUBj6jDGQuWo8XDCfhwefqnK9WlALK1/view?usp=drive_link The Town Administrator memo of Aug 7 was refreshed as many appear to have not read it, or understood the implications -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UnddsW97syeHkkVjNOgRlOkKgHgOGiS0/view?usp=drive_link The recording runs just about 68 minutes, let's listen--------------Franklin TV broadcast is available for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMhCNMRndj0 The agenda doc -> https://www.franklinma.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_10222025-1961 My notes in one PDF file -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/11PCj1OfVixPiPgZ8jrk5-HD7VjH3vuEu/view?usp=drive_link -------------We are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm) or 102.9 on the Franklin area radio dial.

On a night when Hornet Stadium was awash in pink as part of East Central's annual Pink Out tradition on Friday, Oct. 17, the home team was left battered, black, and blue as they fell to the visiting New Braunfels Canyon Cougars by a final score of 28-7. The loss dropped the Hornets to 2-6 on the season and 1-3 in District 29-6A play. Early on, it looked like the game was going to be a low-scoring defensive battle, with each team's offenses being turned away on each of their first two offensive possessions. The Hornets gained some offensive rhythm...Article Link

East Central vs Whiteland Softball Sectional Game Hosted at East Central.

Throughout Dr. Jeff Bird's long and fulfilling career in medicine, he has put his patients—and the people of Muncie—first. Dr. Bird grew up in Muncie. After completing his residency at Ball Hospital, he embarked upon a long and fulfilling career in medicine here in his hometown. As the hospital prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary, Dr. Bird reflects on the decades he's spent—first as a doctor and then as an administrator—working to provide the best healthcare to the people who live and work in East Central Indiana. Since 2017, Dr. Bird has served as the president of the East Central Indiana region for IU Health, which includes IU Health Ball Memorial and Blackford Hospitals. Prior to assuming this executive role, Dr. Bird served 14 years as the associate director of the Ball Memorial Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program. Before that, he was the owner of a thriving private practice of family medicine. In this episode, Dr. Bird talks about his great passion for medicine and his great love for Muncie. He also shares why he feels compelled to give back to the community that raised him along with his reasons for feeling—in his own words—“bullish” about the future success of the city and the region.If you enjoy this episode, please leave a review to support the show
