09-23-2026 School Board Meeting

The Carmel Clay Schools Board held a meeting on September 23, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. Key discussions included approval of change orders for multiple school construction and renovation projects, with a net favorable impact of approximately $29,000. The board held a public hearing on a proposed general obligation bond issuance up to $59.5 million, which would fund $12 million in technology purchases over three years and $9 million for new buses, with an estimated debt service levy increase capped at 4%. The board approved an update to the 2026-2027 school calendar designating May 4, 2027, as a non-school day due to the use of school facilities as voting centers. Additionally, the board approved a new sports medicine services agreement with Riverview Parkview Health at an annual cost of $300,000, replacing the previous provider due to significant cost increases. Financial reports indicated that the district's funds are tracking as expected, with potential additional appropriations anticipated later in the year. The meeting also included updates on collective bargaining timelines and program of study changes, though these were not directly related to procurement.
