Highlights:

- Food service renewal: The board approved renewal of the Chartwells food-service contract for the 2025-26 school year. District staff said the Chartwells agreement is run through the state's contracting process (a five-year contract) and that the board's action continued the district's participation for the third year of the five-year arrangement. The board approved the renewal by voice vote.

- Personnel recommendations: Trustees moved to amend the personnel/employment recommendations to remove two items for later action: an art-teacher hire for Hornet Park Elementary School and a building reassignment (social studies transfer from high school to middle school). Following an amendment motion and second, the amendment carried by voice vote. The board then approved the remaining employment recommendations (as amended) by voice vote.

- Settlement agreement: The board approved a settlement agreement and release between a party identified in the agenda as Hunter and Beech Grove City Schools; the meeting record provides no financial or substantive terms for the settlement beyond the board vote.

- Minutes, claims, fundraisers and field trips: Trustees approved minutes from the April 8, 2025 regular meeting, claims for April 2025, and the listed fundraisers and field trips by voice votes.

Other operational notes discussed by staff included a newly delivered Type A Micro Bird bus (received after a two-year order wait), a current shortage of bus monitors that staff said they were managing with internal coverage, and the district's recent National School Lunch Program survey conducted April 14-16. Board discussion on the personnel slate included routine parliamentary steps to amend and approve items; the transcript records voice votes but no roll-call tallies for these items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Beech Grove City Schools -School Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its May 13 meeting the Beech Grove City Schools board approved the renewal of the Chartwells food-service contract for 2025-26, approved employment recommendations after amending two positions for later action, approved a settlement agreement with 'Hunter,' and adopted minutes, claims, fundraisers and field trips.","taxTitle","Beech Grove City Schools, School Boards, Indiana","taxId",61424,"location","Indiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6571473,"Beech Grove board adopts GO bond appropriation, clears final bond resolution for facility upgrades",158,3245000,3403000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3290932-80f5585015c20d68fe49b3d20cb182a5&start=3245&end=3403","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3290932-80f5585015c20d68fe49b3d20cb182a5/thumbnail_3245000.jpg","/articles/6571473/Indiana/Beech-Grove-board-adopts-GO-bond-appropriation-clears-final-bond-resolution-for-facility-upgrades","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6571473-c7caf06bd9e338b0905a41bb2f5c7daa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166072&Signature=Bm-2vwGAxPo0B9PpG32TlDU0priU5u6qa-1OX1IFYhey5R5n4MBJiOnWgcFrBxzkVTUC8WXtKq9yrwww9WlRnL5eRnmU70rx6DGiLf7iNf8i7COQ~dy5AV4kTqV2jW93yRaX5GEvwLnFHDaK9xIWSCtXomiw40HSyKK9AuPsLv3hsA0H0RvCHftezXHMo7i1A7HZSM298dl-0AYI~0m32mcr~2bUp~1jH9n-W120BvbvMrr4qP8dIzpCua4I1-0qZwi4MTTFDMLEry8Ds8wVDFRtxyy01WPau2ewkdJr9OGSa2FoSray1uJZN~zgoTUq99az9R~S~juXDAWsahpGOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Beech Grove City Schools Board on May 13 adopted an additional appropriation and a final bond resolution to allocate general obligation (GO) bond proceeds for district facility projects.

Dr. Laura Hammock, superintendent of Beech Grove City Schools, summarized the planned improvements for trustees before the hearing: \"These planned improvements ... do include roofing repairs and replacements, paving projects to maintain safe and accessible parking areas and roadways across our campuses, HVAC system upgrades to improve air quality, energy efficiency, and overall comfort in learning spaces, School bus purchases ... and other critical capital improvements,\" she said.

The board opened the legally required additional appropriation hearing for GO bond proceeds, received no public comments and closed the hearing before returning to regular business. The additional appropriation resolution approves the district's use of the bond proceeds for the listed projects; the final bond resolution sets project cost parameters and the bond financial terms such as the maximum interest rate and maturity dates.

Trustees moved and seconded both resolutions and approved them by voice vote.

During the meeting Garment and other staff flagged related facility needs previously discussed, including replacement of a middle-school boiler and additional costs tied to proprietary building-control systems. The board's action follows several meetings of project planning; staff told trustees these items have been discussed over the last three board meetings.","After a public hearing with no speakers, the Beech Grove City Schools board adopted an additional appropriation for GO bond proceeds and approved a final bond resolution detailing project costs and bond terms; the projects include roofing, paving, HVAC upgrades and school bus purchases.",{"_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},6571479,"Beech Grove board approves HES custodial contract after RFP; district cites $152,000 annual savings",618,2497000,3115000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3290932-80f5585015c20d68fe49b3d20cb182a5&start=2497&end=3115","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3290932-80f5585015c20d68fe49b3d20cb182a5/thumbnail_2497000.jpg","/articles/6571479/Indiana/Beech-Grove-board-approves-HES-custodial-contract-after-RFP-district-cites-152000-annual-savings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6571479-ada990a86b49f79c3f523c6a3e817838/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166072&Signature=a3VNYUmJDK3n6~cBX5msj0in1TBc~m7yJem7viaLLc1i9lJ-dfPv0gIsZl1y97jTrayMUsBUkBECVE4Zh2Dq7-kTnoTQlocjqFt2ugrdqk5Y4zehsote5XneD9PBheOM7bF7ORgsv8UFTPoen5Agos9zRYQnGcvhSL00tKxW8TdaGyVT2zoZVsr4VrheeKUy5xQqSTRj8zjiaXW~tTM31PdtupPKbzCruLSFH5DgL0R~8WBmCl9ko9wSbwX7IVNAYuuFx2hRG4GfG0YDbZ5fY1XXMftIJzaJOXogSS48QWKQfU~gmroblGV7E4BHPbcBdT3FAi~qNuXcLwMu944Fbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Beech Grove City Schools Board on May 13 authorized Superintendent Dr. Laura Hammock to enter a two-year custodial services contract with HES Facilities Management, a move district staff said will save roughly $152,000 a year.

Mr. Garment, director of personnel and operations for Beech Grove City Schools, told the board the district started the custodial services request-for-proposal process in January and received 10 proposals after giving tours to 12 firms. \"We will experience a $152,000 savings on a yearly basis as a result of going through that process,\" Garment said during his presentation.

The contract approved by the board is a two-year agreement with three separate one-year renewal options. Garment said the draft agreement already incorporated changes the district sought after scoring and interviews with finalists. He also said procurement consultant Nicole Kenny of Indigo reviewed the contract and made suggestions that were incorporated.

Board member Mr. Downer asked whether the district routinely has legal counsel review contracts to guard against risk. Garment said the district has not done that for past custodial or food-service agreements and that legal review would be an expense, but that he and staff had reviewed the draft line by line and felt comfortable with its content. \"We could certainly do that,\" Garment said, adding the district would pause the approval if the board preferred to pursue counsel review.

Board members moved and seconded the motion to approve entering the contract; the board approved the agreement by voice vote.

The board's action authorizes Dr. Hammock to execute the draft agreement and directs staff to advise the board of any subsequent changes, Garment said. He told trustees he did not anticipate further substantive changes.

Beyond the contract vote, Garment told the board the RFP scoring team included principals and athletic directors and that the planned transition includes interview fairs scheduled by the vendor to begin staffing the contract.","The Beech Grove City Schools board authorized a two-year custodial services contract with HES Facilities Management after an RFP that produced 10 proposals; district staff said the change will save about $152,000 per year and the board authorized the superintendent to sign the draft agreement.","actionData","errors"]
