10-07-2026 CCS School Board Meeting

The Carmel Clay Schools Board of School Trustees’ October 7, 2026 meeting included public hearings on the 2027 budgets, capital projects plan, and bus replacement plan, followed by action on a proposed 2027 bond issue. The proposed bonds had a maximum principal amount of $59.5 million; after discussion of taxpayer concerns and the $4.5 million miscellaneous allocation, the board approved an amendment reducing the maximum to $55 million. The amended resolution approving bond issuance and the form of lease passed 5–0. The administration agreed to develop a periodic, high-level report on bond spending and project changes. No vendor selections, contract awards, or bid approvals were identified.

The board also discussed a tentative teacher collective bargaining agreement whose salary terms depend on whether the referendum passes, including a one-time stipend and a $200 annual increase for teachers with a literacy endorsement; this was presented as a discussion item, with no vote reported. The superintendent reported district achievements, and the workshop focused on student support and crisis response.
