The board approved the consent agenda — listed as “minutes, expenditures, and resignations” — by voice vote with all members present supporting the motion (vote reported as 6‑0). The board then approved a large slate of personnel hires across certificated, support and operations positions (including principals, paraprofessionals, custodians, a new technology director and others) by a roll call indicated as unanimous among members present (6‑0).

The board approved multiple extracurricular and summer‑school coach and sponsor recommendations in grouped votes. After discussion, the board separated four girls basketball coaching recommendations (head coach plus three assistants) for a separate vote; that separate group was later TABLED to the next board meeting by a 5‑1 vote.

Grants and donations were approved unanimously (6‑0). The board accepted a $3,000 grant from the Franklin County Community Foundation Lucille Ernst Cultural Club for the drama department microphone repairs, and a $7,000 grant from the Franklin County Foundation (Clay John Seal Memorial Endowment and Lucille Ernst Cultural Club) for live orchestra funding. The board also accepted a $500 donation from Tri Kappa Beta Eta chapter for the school food pantry.

On facilities and equipment, the board voted 6‑0 to accept a 60‑month municipal lease with Millennium (recommended vendor) for multifunctional printers/copiers covering all buildings (21 machines). The superintendent explained a municipal lease puts the equipment in the district’s ownership at the end of the 60‑month term and avoids the “fair market lease” return costs.

Other approved items included a transfer of three surplus golf carts from the Town of Brookville to the school corporation (accepted for $1 total) and renewal authorization for the FCHS Athletic Boosters raffle license (May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026).

The board also appointed Beth Foster to a four‑year term on the Franklin County Public Library Board (motion carried; one abstention recorded on the record during the roll call).

Redevelopment representatives had provided a draft agreement that would permit distribution “up to 15%” of incremental TIF revenues for qualifying educational or training projects. The superintendent explained the district does not have a statutory obligation to sign such an agreement but described the redevelopment commission as a constructive partner that has funded prior projects, including the district’s portrait‑of‑a‑learner work.

Board members considered four options: sign the agreement as written, decline to sign, attempt to negotiate different contract language, or take no action (allowing state law to govern future requests). After discussion the board voted unanimously (6‑0) to ask the superintendent to prepare a letter thanking the redevelopment commission, affirming the productive relationship and indicating the district will continue to operate under state law; the board requested a draft of that letter before it is sent.

The superintendent and legal counsel noted the draft agreement contains a clause that would adjust with any future state‑law changes. Board members said they wanted to preserve flexibility for future boards and superintendents while maintaining collaborative relationships with county and redevelopment authorities.

Administration said it will circulate a draft response to trustees before the redevelopment commission meeting scheduled the following week.","Board members discussed a draft educational and training TIF agreement proposed by the county redevelopment commission and instructed the superintendent to prepare a letter reaffirming the district's existing relationship while noting state law protections; the board declined to sign an open long‑term funding commitment at the meeting.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6605093,"Board tables approval of four girls‑basketball coaching recommendations after parent concerns",452,3345000,3797000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987343-d950d1182c6c111fd15e62cfb412995a&start=3345&end=3797","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987343-d950d1182c6c111fd15e62cfb412995a/thumbnail_3345000.jpg","/articles/6605093/Indiana/Board-tables-approval-of-four-girlsbasketball-coaching-recommendations-after-parent-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6605093-27e25e66e08c0a1a1f4ed63d70db8ac8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143575&Signature=T8CIzLsxuuF5SeMyOaApNWGnoo1KmQIvP7EVp109WBBiOgz7IEs-0A5uC4tMpNXKhpORYtWHkxpseMJYHfRG4S9LmUPabJ7j-pB~gZsq6jyUTfuuDSXBcVmk9FvLIrjVt2p3u~lCCP5ZOPmh2-1jhBfN7Ub2dhiXyI0HkGmgIAjP7njqzEhHESbGhS99LrudLNTQGwgbIwSKoIFFiXeUm5injdyYxnidq1u624E8SCN7IAHT52oVJ5jhJ8cDnrn4mjh81H28ceyVn6O5~6XlL7djLCV9TDhL5cGgLLNIBNMNhMcNImnoGvK37eumGB4PF9EZxfnTE~BN1JlDIhhJSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ind. — The Franklin County Community School Corporation board on April 14 voted to table final approval of four recommended girls‑basketball coaching positions — the head coach and three assistant coaches — after at least one board member said she had received parent concerns and wanted more time to review.

Brandi Wilson made a motion to table the four hires until the next regular meeting so board members could “have a little bit more information” and speak with parents; the motion carried 5‑1. The superintendent told the board his recommendation remained in favor of the four candidates, saying he had reviewed vetting materials and had “0 holdback in recommending them now.”

Superintendent Dustin Gehring said the athletic director and principal had used established criteria in bringing recommendations to the board and that he stood by the recommendations, but he acknowledged the board’s duty to evaluate them. \"My recommendation is that we move forward with these 4 individuals,\" he said during the meeting.

Board members discussed procedural options including separating the head coach vote from the assistants or tabling the entire set. The motion to table followed a recorded request from a board member to speak with parents and others before acting; the board agreed to reconsider the hires at the next meeting. The superintendent and athletic director were asked to provide any requested additional information to board members before that meeting.

The board did not vote on the individual hires at the April 14 meeting; the item remains on the agenda for the next regular meeting pending staff follow‑up.","Board members split on timing of approval for a recommended head girls‑basketball coach and three assistants and voted 5‑1 to table the four hires until the next meeting so one board member can gather more information from parents.","actionData","errors"]
