11/10/2026 Wawasee Community School Corporation Board Meeting

The Wawasee Community School Corporation Board regular meeting on November 10, 2026, included a public hearing and approvals for a general-obligation bond project. The proposed work covers deferred maintenance and facility improvements, including HVAC, roofing, and site work, as well as buses, technology, and equipment. The presentation cited approximately $1.5 million in bond proceeds and an estimated $600,000 in revenue losses from tax caps and Senate Enrolled Act 1 credits. The board approved the project resolution, additional appropriations resolution, and final bond resolution; the bond documents set maximums of 6% interest and a seven-year repayment term, with the stated goal of keeping the debt-service levy level.

The board also reviewed the middle-school pool project: the original contract was $4,778,008, change orders totaled $3,582,253.41, and the revised total was $8,360,261.41. MKS is handling construction and Elevatus Architecture provided design services. Remaining punch-list work is to be completed without additional cost, and retainage will be held pending completion and acceptance. Other spending-related actions included approval of the collective bargaining agreement and a Bowen Health teen substance-use intervention agreement; the presentation said sessions cost $85, with grant funding and family payments of up to $15 per session helping cover costs. The board also approved an out-of-state band trip that had already taken place. No vendor selection or new competitive bid award was identified.
