July 27th, 2026: SHCSC Board Meeting Part 1

The South Harrison Community School Corporation held a board meeting on July 27, 2026, where various operational and educational updates were discussed. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of a construction item and discussions about the new transportation maintenance facility, which supports the district's fleet of 47 vehicles and 58 daily bus routes. The board also addressed the upcoming expiration of service contracts for bus drivers, with plans to begin negotiations for new contracts in the fall and present options by April 2027. Technology upgrades were highlighted, including the expansion of the CCTV security system to new facilities and athletic areas, the replacement of the intercom and bell systems at Cordon Junior Senior High School, and the transition to Microsoft-based network management tools. The board anticipates seeking quotes for upgrading outdated intercom systems in elementary schools to integrate with the new security infrastructure, which will require budget considerations. No specific dollar amounts or vendor names were mentioned, but the discussions indicate ongoing capital improvement projects and procurement planning for security and transportation services.
