School Board of Trustees Meeting: June 22, 2026

The Vigo County School Corporation Board of Trustees held a meeting on June 22, 2026, focusing on several key topics including updates on athletic events, personnel reports, budget approvals, curriculum adoption, and school modernization plans. Significant procurement-related discussions included approval of the June accounts payable docket, which detailed payments for fuel, scholarship waivers, and building improvements such as plumbing installations in new science classrooms. The board also reviewed and approved a list of novels for the 6-12 English Language Arts curriculum adoption. A major portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the modernization and reorganization of school facilities, including the potential conversion of existing high schools into middle schools and the associated cost savings estimated at $30 to $40 million over 15 to 20 years. The plan aims to reduce the number of buildings from 23 to 16, generating annual savings exceeding $10 million in the education fund and $3.5 million in the operations fund, with a focus on maintaining educational opportunities while managing budget constraints. No immediate decisions were made on the modernization options, allowing time for further community input and board consideration. The meeting also included policy updates and community member comments related to staffing and scheduling concerns amid the proposed changes.
