FWCS School Board of Trustees August 24, 2026

The Fort Wayne Community School Board of Trustees held a meeting on August 24, 2026, focusing on academic achievements, contract approvals, and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a $197,800 contract with ProCare Therapy to provide specialized educational services, a $255,429 contract with Musco Sports Lighting LLC for LED stadium lighting installation at Wayne High School funded through a general obligation bond and operations fund, and the renewal of an insurance policy with a premium of $1,485,640 covering various liabilities. Additionally, the board approved acceptance of a $37,960 grant for robotic technology to support autism classrooms and renewed a $200,000 service agreement with Health Care Blue Book to assist employees in managing healthcare costs. The board also approved an amended joint replacement services agreement with Parkview Health System, locking in reduced rates and projected savings for the district's self-insured health plan. These actions demonstrate the board's ongoing commitment to enhancing educational resources, facilities, and employee benefits while maintaining fiscal responsibility. No new tax increases were associated with recent capital improvements, including the stadium lighting project.
