# October 12th School Board Meeting

Goshen Community Schools school board meeting, October 12, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is October 13). The board approved the 2027 budget after adopting Resolution 842, which addressed a taxpayer petition concerning the budget and found that it did not require changes to specific budget items. Resolution 842 appears to have passed 5–1; the budget passed 6–0. The superintendent reported budget categories of approximately $18.55 million for capital projects and bus debt service (the amount is garbled in the transcript), $6.361 million for exempt referendum capital, $54.984 million for the education fund, and $19 million for operations. The board also approved the consent agenda, which included accounts and 2026–27 apprenticeship partnerships with CareerWise Elkhart County and Horizon Education Alliance.

The board approved 2026–27 snow-removal recommendations, with Diamond Green assigned to Goshen High School, Chamberlain, and Goshen Intermediate, and Craig Sewer (vendor name as transcribed) to Goshen Junior High, Chandler Model, and West Goshen; no bid amounts were stated. The district reported that contractor work on the soccer field and alumni plaza utility-wire project was expected to begin October 19, including construction of new shot-put areas, but gave no contractor name or project cost. Discussion also covered a communications handbook and potential use of Class Intercom for managing school social-media posts; no software purchase or contract approval was recorded.
