School Board Meeting 11-10-2026

Westfield Washington Schools Board of Trustees meeting, November 10, 2026. The board approved authorizations to advertise and receive competitive bids for the Westfield High School track project, Shamrock Springs Quadplex ball fields, Monon Trail Athletic Complex improvements, and community rooms at Monon Trail and Maple Glen. These actions authorize solicitation only; bid results and awards are expected to return to the board later. Construction updates covered multiple active school projects, including Middle School West, with reported construction costs just over $130 million and 23% of its $7.7 million contingency used, and high school renovations with an $11 million construction cost and 3% of its $829,000 contingency used. The board also approved a one-year barista beverage machine lease for the high school: $3,588 annually, with a reported first-year total of $5,038 including delivery and installation.

The board approved a school bus driver services agreement with First Student for at least three certified drivers through the end of the 2026–27 school year, at a stated base rate of $498 per driver, with 60 days’ notice required for early termination. It also approved the 2026–27 teachers’ master contract, including a salary-schedule starting rate increase from $46,000 to $52,000, an average salary increase of about 2.5%, and a district contribution equal to 1% of bargaining-unit salaries to retirement accounts. The board accepted a $100,000 Indiana Lifelong Learning Project planning grant and approved proposed 2027–28 early learning and before/after-care fees. The WWS–WYSI collaborative partnership resolution also passed. No construction bids were awarded at this meeting.
