KSC Board Work Session- October 28, 2026

The Kokomo School Corporation Board work session on October 28, 2026, focused primarily on the communications director’s overview of district communication systems, data processes, and digital accessibility. Staff described efforts to consolidate school communications around platforms including ParentSquare and PowerSchool, improve data accuracy and family contactability (reported at about 99%), and strengthen privacy, social-media account oversight, records retention, and accessibility compliance ahead of an April 2027 deadline. The presentation discussed existing systems and workflows; it did not identify a new software purchase, contract award, vendor selection, or related spending vote.

The superintendent previewed the November meeting agenda, including first readings of policies on student residency verification, video surveillance, and relationships with special-interest groups, as well as a lease hearing to complete the financial process for the Boulevard project and asset-approval resolutions. These were upcoming agenda items, not actions taken at this work session; no procurement approvals or spending motions were identified. The discussion also anticipated tighter limits on distributing outside organizations’ materials through district channels, while continuing legally required communications.
