Redesigned Web site provides new features
In an effort to better meet the needs of its audience, the IHSPA has redesigned its Web site. The site is organized around key-word categories located across the top of the nameplate. One major feature is a bulletin board service located under the "Resources" link that facilitates discussion among schools throughout the state. Another link under "Resources" puts visitors in touch with all IHSPA forms saved in PDF format for easy downloading. Also, important news and dates are offered immediately to better serve the viewer. We hope you enjoy the new site and get accustomed to using it often.
