Tri-Creek School Corporation Board of School Trustees Meeting 8/6/2026

The Tri-Creek School Corporation Board of School Trustees held a meeting on August 6, 2026, focusing on updates to ongoing construction projects, including pool renovations and access road improvements, with a change order for the high school access road totaling $83,000. The board discussed the virtual academy's enrollment and funding implications, highlighting an anticipated increase in student participation and associated financial impacts. A significant portion of the meeting addressed the district's financial challenges due to state legislation (Senate Enrolled Act One) resulting in a $2.45 million property tax revenue loss, prompting discussions on budget cuts, including potential termination of bus services and discontinuation of sports and clubs effective August 2027. The board emphasized the necessity of a referendum to maintain current services and avoid severe program reductions. Several motions were passed, including approval of the access road change order, student handbooks, the career tech education director contract, and the appointment of a library board member. The meeting concluded with plans for community engagement sessions to discuss the financial situation and referendum.
