November 11, 2026 Board of School Trustees Meeting

At its November 11, 2026 meeting, the Tippecanoe School Corporation Board of School Trustees held the second required public hearing on a 2027 general obligation bond. The proposed financing would provide up to $25 million in 2027 for building renovations, plus $5 million annually for five years for maintenance projects. The corporation expects the tax rate to remain approximately 89–90; the maximum repayment period would be 20 years. Planned work at four elementary schools includes a secure vestibule and bus-circulation and parking improvements at Hershey, mechanical-system upgrades at Dayton, space and classroom renovations at the intermediate school, and classroom and office modifications at BGE. The board voted to adopt the presented resolutions and the hearing minutes. No vendor selections, contract awards, or bids were identified.

The board also approved the consent agenda, including accounts payable and financial reports, staff development field trips, high school course-guide recommendations, and personnel items. A motion was made to authorize a letter asking county commissioners to consider allowing sheriff’s-department traffic and parking enforcement on corporation property, but the transcript does not capture the motion’s disposition. A family addressed differences in student-athlete suspension penalties; no board action on that matter is recorded.
