# School Town of Munster Board of School Trustees Regular School Board Meeting 10/7/26

The School Town of Munster Board of School Trustees held its regular meeting on October 7, 2026. The board approved the 2027–2031 bus replacement plan and the 2027–2029 capital projects plan, along with the 2027 budget and a transfer of up to $5 million from the Education Fund to the Operations Fund. It also approved a proprietary-brand specification justification for a project currently being bid: refurbishing the pool bulkheads using Paddock, the original manufacturer, and retaining compatible Duraflex diving boards. The board approved the consent agenda, including accounts-payable and payroll voucher registers, and approved a technical change to the teachers’ agreement to comply with state law; the change does not alter compensation.

In the financial report, administration noted that four buses were delivered in September, and that the district also made additional bus purchases during the year. Operations Fund expenses included approximately $500,000 in storm repairs and $41,500 paid to DLA Architecture for initial work on the multipurpose building, to be reimbursed from bond proceeds after the bond sale. The district is pursuing FEMA reimbursement for disaster-related costs and has begun coordinating a construction timeline and site preparation for the multipurpose building. No specific vendor award or contract amount for the pool work or capital projects was stated.
