MCCSC Board of School Trustees Regular Meeting - October 27, 2026

The Monroe County Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees held its regular meeting on October 27, 2026. The board approved the 2027 budget resolutions, including the bus replacement plan, anticipated transfers, budget resolution, and tax-revenue flexibility provisions. The resolutions establish budget, levy, and rate ceilings and authorize budget adjustments and fund transfers; no specific dollar amounts were stated. The board also approved contracts described in discussion as student-teacher contracts, and approved insurance premium changes for MCEA, AFSCME Local 3995, and non-union support staff and administrators. Administration said the agreements maintain employee premium contributions because renewals were below 6%, while increasing the corporation’s contributions for plan year 2027. The consent agenda, including expenditures, claims, and financial reports, was approved, and donations totaling more than $4,000 were accepted.

The board also heard updates on transportation, early learning, staffing, and finances. Transportation staff reported a fleet of 164 buses, including 63 electric buses, and discussed the bus replacement cycle, operating costs, and ongoing maintenance and staffing needs; no bus purchase or vendor award was presented. A first reading of revisions to board bylaws raised questions about clarifying approval and reimbursement rules for board travel and conferences, with further review anticipated. No other procurement awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
