ACS Board of Trustees Board Meeting - August 10, 2026

The Anderson Community Schools Board of Trustees held a meeting on August 10, 2026, where several procurement and policy matters were addressed. The board approved the monthly financial claims for July, covering purchases made by the school corporation and food service department, through resolution R-2026-29. They also approved personnel actions including recruitments, leaves, retirements, and resignations via resolution 2026-30, and sanctioned field trips and conference leave requests under resolution R-2026-31. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the discussion and approval of updated disciplinary matrices, including a new cell phone policy designed to improve student behavior and learning environment. The board unanimously approved these disciplinary matrices after public input and presentations from school administrators. Additionally, the board voted to set adult meal prices for the school year as mandated by the state Department of Education, with adult lunch priced at $5.35 and breakfast at $3.05. Public comments highlighted concerns about parent involvement, transportation issues, and resource allocation, but no new contracts or capital projects were discussed.
