# 09-23-2026 School Board Meeting

The Carmel Clay Schools Board held a meeting on September 23, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board reviewed and approved multiple change orders related to school additions and renovations, noting a favorable net reduction of approximately $29,000. A public hearing was conducted regarding a proposed general obligation bond issuance of up to $59.5 million, which would fund various projects including $12 million for technology purchases over three years and $9 million for new buses. The bond is projected to increase the debt service levy by about 4% annually through 2030. The board also approved a new sports medicine services agreement with Parkview Health at an annual cost of $300,000, replacing the previous provider due to significant cost increases. Additionally, the board approved an update to the 2026-2027 school calendar to designate May 4, 2027, as a non-school day due to the use of school facilities as voting centers. Financial reports indicated that the district's funds are tracking as expected, with potential additional appropriations to be considered later in the year. The meeting also included discussions on program of study changes and collective bargaining updates, but these were not directly related to procurement.
