Greenwood School Board Meeting

The Greenwood Community School Corporation Board meeting on October 21, 2026, addressed capital projects, financing, operating costs, and the 2027 advertised budget. The board approved Myron E. Ulm as construction management company for the storm-damaged auditorium project and authorized the related agreement. It also adopted resolutions for deferred-maintenance projects—including a project resolution required for work exceeding $1 million—and associated lease and bond financing, assignment of bids and contracts to the building corporation, and continuing disclosure. The board approved the 2027 advertised budget and related resolutions, including a recurring $3.4 million transfer from the education fund to the operations fund. An increase in the extracurricular field-trip charge from $2 to $2.75 per mile for a grade level’s second trip was approved; the corporation will continue to pay for the first trip.

The board also held a pre-ratification public hearing on a tentative teachers’ agreement, which includes a one-time $500 stipend for certified staff and approximately $26,000 in additional dental-benefit costs; no board action was taken at the hearing. Operations staff reported ongoing school renovations and roof work, with solar additions planned for the high school and Southwest Elementary. A community member raised privacy concerns about the district’s technology choices, specifically Aptigy, but no decision on that vendor was reported. The board also approved a proposed library-board appointment. Other reports covered a curriculum pilot and planning for a competitive grant, with Mazi serving as a consultant; no grant award or related expenditure approval was reported.
