Tri-Creek School Corporation Board of School Trustees Meeting 6/16/2026

The Tri-Creek School Corporation Board of School Trustees held a meeting on June 16, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included approval of the Christ Development and Management LLC agreement for the construction trades class house project, renewal of lease agreements with Pop Warner Little Scholars Inc. and Great Lakes for field maintenance, and approval of natatorium furniture purchases through a no-bid state vendor list. The board also approved the student fees schedule for the 2026-27 school year, which ranged from $40 to $300 depending on grade and course, with fee waivers available for eligible students. A significant focus was on the financial challenges posed by state legislation reducing property tax revenue, prompting the board to pass a resolution to place an operating referendum on the November ballot to restore funding for bus transportation, student programs, and school safety. Additionally, the board authorized the superintendent to execute a contract with ATI Physical Therapy for athletic trainer services pending legal review. Updates were provided on the transition from Canvas to Google Classroom at no additional cost and ongoing negotiations for a cell tower lease to generate additional revenue. The meeting concluded with unanimous board approval of all motions related to contracts, fees, and the referendum resolution.
