At the Warren County School Board meeting on July 31, 2026, the board approved a budget amendment of $271,900 from fund balance to transportation equipment. The allocation includes a quoted new bus costing $152,300 with air conditioning and $15,000 for inspections that could keep older buses in service under revised state mileage rules. Members discussed maintaining and gradually rebuilding the district’s bus fleet; staff said at least 40 additional buses would be needed to operate the fleet fully in-house. The amendment passed, though the transcript does not provide the vote count. The board also approved the internal school funds budget. Staff reported that replacement paper-towel dispensers are being provided by the supplier and are expected to reduce future towel costs.

Facilities updates covered ongoing construction and renovation work, including a basement project awaiting final fire-marshal inspection, a West Gym renovation with bleacher materials being ordered, completed bleacher renovations at Centertown School, and awning work at the middle school. The board discussed limited classroom space and possible future gym-floor replacement, but no related contract awards or spending approvals were recorded. The board also adopted multiple policy revisions, including rules for instructional technology and outside ABA providers, and approved a differentiated-pay-plan addition. It discussed concern about a proposed data center near the middle school and planned to send a letter supporting the city’s temporary moratorium while it studies potential impacts; no procurement action related to the data center was identified.
