Zionsville Community Schools Board of Trustees meeting, October 5, 2026. The board approved the 2027 budget submission and related resolutions, including the 2027–2031 bus replacement plan and 2027–2029 capital projects plan. The proposed district budget was just under $152 million; the district said it was seeking an operating referendum rate of 24.44 and expected a final rate of 1.30 after state review. The board also approved proposed high school course additions for implementation in 2027–28, with no anticipated staffing changes. The consent agenda, including claims of $10,017,352.38 and payroll of $5,273,638.57, was approved.

Procurement and facilities actions included authorization to advertise an RFP for boiler and chiller preventive maintenance, and authorization to advertise and receive bids for furnishings for the new early learning center and educational services center, which are targeted for substantial completion in summer 2027. The board also approved renewing the district’s bulk natural-gas supply arrangement for 2026–27; negotiated pricing is expected to save approximately $54,500. Staff reported other savings, including $345,000 from an earlier Chromebook purchase, more than $45,000 in Amazon discounts, and over $38,000 in credit-card rebates. A public commenter requested a consistent advanced-Spanish pathway; no procurement action on that request was identified.
