School Board Meeting 10/12/2026

The Millcreek Township School District committee and Committee of the Whole meetings were held October 12, 2026. The Instruction and Student Services Committee advanced five items for consideration at the end-of-month meeting, including an interpreting-services agreement, a revised Barber National Institute service agreement adding two students at $221.50 per day, school-van transportation rates, and a Crawford County Children and Youth Services transportation memorandum. The van-rate schedule cited $2.36 per mile or $126 per day for standard vans, and $3.13 per mile or $154 per day for lift-equipped vans, depending on trip length. The transcript also identifies an iPad quote for assistive technology, which the board approved; no amount or vendor was stated.

The board approved returning the Chestnut Hill addition plans to the architect for a reduced-scope redesign, citing district finances and the cost of the original design. The revised concept would retain needed art, music, special-education, office, and intervention spaces while dropping the plan to add a classroom at each grade level; the cost and final scope remain undetermined. A roughly $26 million figure was discussed in connection with the earlier plan, not as an approved project amount. The board also approved a property-tax settlement involving a $222,000 refund and an estimated ongoing annual tax reduction of about $250,000. The personnel report was approved; no additional procurement details were provided for it.
