The Lebanon Community School Corporation Board of Trustees held a budget hearing and regular meeting on September 15, 2026. The primary focus was on the 2027 budget, including a detailed presentation by Policy Analytics on property tax scenarios affecting the district's revenue and tax rates. Two budget models were discussed: one maximizing the operations fund levy and the other maximizing the operating referendum rate, both generating the same revenue but with different tax impacts on taxpayers in Lebanon and Whitestown. The board reviewed the implications of these models on taxpayers, tax caps, and future legislative considerations. Additionally, the board approved several procurement-related items including change orders for construction projects, a professional services agreement with CSO Architects for a district-wide facilities master plan, a food service equipment purchase (dishwasher replacement) from Lancaster Skirt, and a software agreement with Red Rover Records to digitize personnel records. A resolution to change the trustee bank for debt issuance was also approved. The meeting included updates on capital and operating referenda, staff matters, and upcoming events, with no public comments presented.
