Superintendent Dr. Briggs reviewed the packet, noting several specific items. \"0164 notice of meetings, that's actually a delete. That's been wrapped into 0165 board meetings,\" Briggs said. He listed other items by number and short description: a new legal counsel policy (0172), updated responsibilities for the superintendent (1230), deletion of class size policy (2312), a new technology resources policy and updated acceptable‑use language adding artificial intelligence safeguards, and updates to graduation requirements to reflect recent state changes.

Briggs said the district recently updated graduation language late in 2024 and expects further updates once the state board finalizes new graduation requirements. He described additions to student conduct policy to address academic dishonesty and artificial intelligence and said technology device and acceptable use policies will be revised to include AI guidance. Briggs recommended deleting policy 8660 (transportation by private vehicle) to avoid staff transporting students in private cars.

The items were presented as first readings; Dr. Briggs said they will return for a second reading and vote at the May 27 board meeting.

Director of facilities Doctor Balmer told the board the change order comprises 17 individual items including additional demo work, exterior scope adjustments at the front of the building, fire‑alarm updates tied to modulars, and added work around radiant panels and FCUs in the auxiliary gym corridor. Balmer said those items were partly unforeseen once crews opened ceiling areas and worked in between the auxiliary gym and main entry.

Balmer noted a primary credit: leaving the Calhoun lay‑down lot as is produced a $31,000 credit. \"This is part of construction. You're gonna bump into things that are unforeseen, design changes,\" Balmer said, and added that contingency funds exist for such events.

Board member Mister Groen moved the change order; Miss McDaniel seconded. The board voted \"Aye,\" 5‑0, to approve the order. Balmer told the board that contingency levels remain in reasonable shape after the change and praised construction managers for minimizing contingency use.

The board packet included detail for the 17 items; the district said the additional work is part of normal onsite discovery and will be funded from project contingency.","The Silver Creek board approved Change Order No. 15 for the Calhoun construction project, netting $274,801.83 in additions and credits tied to unforeseen work and design adjustments.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6059616,"Board’s legislative liaison warns of state budget pressures, voucher expansion and local levy impacts",125,3875000,4000000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3294107-0f202f30b73bc00f1cc67a2085dba046&start=3875&end=4000","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3294107-0f202f30b73bc00f1cc67a2085dba046/thumbnail_3875000.jpg","/articles/6059616/Indiana/Boards-legislative-liaison-warns-of-state-budget-pressures-voucher-expansion-and-local-levy-impacts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059616-24b69a5c410ada1dab37469d47edcb35/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437803&Signature=W~WdKbwb8M-7ru-AG8S2GkpFY4lIiNv~l9MvfwCFcsWmOJ5LENaPm7pOMxA-CPdFtP3-sp6H6Y-ITHaJxcrp2yzz-b5R5a6utI1stYRZbhiAc2uFff0AeVMyOai2V5RLvS7jaUGRyOSi9bnisQPdF5GQIOBhN0r3P6mjsB2rRFeKPpf2zEdubOEZ8CaNy19XXiZZRzjxoRfApXgPH7VSRDqnoAZMiRoQRwgcS3crUUXTvP6FhKby9fbvop5fVPbw8RK2nqu8fIKKNrFVxDDH3BN1KtRfStI7UOyf2eV54mey-vf9rGuKZmjjGxDScF50DVyhjIj9zQf~yYoHG-KaMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Joe Basham, the district’s legislative liaison and a board member, briefed the Silver Creek School Corporation Board of Trustees May 13 on the recent state legislative session and potential impacts for K‑12 funding.

Basham said the legislature sent 244 bills to the governor, 43 of which affect education. \"What we've been told that K through 12 is gonna get a 2% bump,\" he said, but he cautioned that after changes such as universal vouchers and additional charter funding the net effect could be closer to \"1% or less\" in practice. \"So, basically, we are taking a cut next couple years because we're not gonna keep up with inflation,\" Basham told the board.

He flagged several items of interest: expanded voucher and charter funding; proposed sharing of transportation costs with charters and private schools beginning in 2028; restrictions on running referenda only during general election cycles starting in 2026; and a provision about listing school board candidates by party in some circumstances. Basham cited an estimated $740,000,000 in levy losses across school corporations as a number being discussed at the state level.

The briefing was informational; board members asked for continued updates. Basham said he will report back after his Region 10 meeting with the Indiana School Boards Association to provide more detail and clarify implementation timelines.

No board action was taken on legislative matters during the meeting.","Board member and legislative liaison Joe Basham summarized recently passed legislation and budget signals May 13, telling the Silver Creek board that school funding faces downward pressure and that vouchers and charter expansions will shift dollars away from traditional public schools.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6059620,"Silver Creek athletics director briefs board on new IHSA transfer rule, conference realignment",236,2136000,2372000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3294107-0f202f30b73bc00f1cc67a2085dba046&start=2136&end=2372","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3294107-0f202f30b73bc00f1cc67a2085dba046/thumbnail_2136000.jpg","/articles/6059620/Indiana/Silver-Creek-athletics-director-briefs-board-on-new-IHSA-transfer-rule-conference-realignment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059620-839412a59a686fe1d57e7d924f454900/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437803&Signature=YaSjipoTC6KUfu~aB5WXR2qrCWQhhN0dZL19jNjIEpQmooK5Y34YKdCgE5M1YHAZRyYIT5N08QgpCEB2OqjWCjU3CwkN2HSevQYl16jP-DgVzpWXZxV6xdG7EVXQIAvT6lu7QSQp2ajlxfT1nwv1Hias842jQCoL5A6O-5f-o7Wqn6vrqDlzFfKtx8oNt6OjUP1tGeKr-CP96x4eikEY1uo2ZabjhSXq42jXcoZ5BEgzaHZnS0B6Xl3yWmDHahksiMptM4RxfiA1RJzwWwkQ9nsxjUNurNNMcGIwwuWOROFxJpWWQtxHHnOU1vmZKL7jEFAAebzVtm2~JD51x96Urw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Silver Creek Director of Athletics Brandon Hoffman told the board May 13 that a new state law changing IHSA transfer rules will take effect June 1 and could change high school athletics eligibility across the state.

Hoffman said the rule has three main points: \"a student athlete can transfer from one school to the other without having any reason why or having to sit out at all\" for the first three years (described in the meeting as the \"first 6 semesters\"); seniors who transfer must sit out 30 days during the season; and a student who transfers may return to their original school within 365 days and be eligible. \"They're terming it a first one time free transfer,\" Hoffman said.

Board members asked operational questions about the rule. Hoffman clarified that a student who previously transferred and served a one‑year non‑varsity probation still counts as a prior transfer and would not get an additional free transfer. He also said the 30‑day sit‑out for seniors applies to each sport the student plays.

Hoffman also reported changes in the Mid‑Southern Conference: Peak and Eastern will leave to join the Southern Athletic Conference, and Madison has been voted in to join Silver Creek's conference beginning the 2026–27 school year. Those conference changes, Hoffman said, reflect broader shifting alignments.

Hoffman cautioned the board it is difficult to predict the local impact. \"As long as we provide a great experience for our students and we're successful, I'm not worried about it at all in terms of us losing kids,\" he said. He told the board to expect implementation questions and to monitor student transfers after the rule goes into effect.

No board action was required; the presentation was information for the board and district athletics staff.","Director of athletics Brandon Hoffman told the Silver Creek board May 13 that a state transfer rule change will allow first‑time transfers immediate athletic eligibility for most students beginning June 1, and that local conference membership will shift in coming seasons.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":44,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":50,"_51":117,"_53":118,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":119,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":120,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6059625,"Silver Creek board approves small shift to school start and end times to ease bus runs",246,2772000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3294107-0f202f30b73bc00f1cc67a2085dba046&start=2526&end=2772","/articles/6059625/Indiana/Silver-Creek-board-approves-small-shift-to-school-start-and-end-times-to-ease-bus-runs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059625-3bc47f3bb70380691dda0b6332f8195c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437803&Signature=X3a73s6K2CLIClLBBoHEszARf8vzY37VT3fleP~5KjmH6j4P4bvuX5NKgZpQ6wD-RLFSsQTEnS24pKq1mv0Q9nfH5ea1iqU9wi41VqaIEiaXPefLdgbh724aavwYZvkmiXkwdFf44XCwrAztr3meCGPJyKv8kQl7AHO6tqKlZjxChR3tZ04VOL0FlPpc5UYUZEBgzq~7VOtljkvztTHB08bhGMjkAcAdOIzn9KMiYsc~pYNd~Iu9O9NB~O1SXo63g5RLB-d2CdRgI47eJyGtT1qVubHjeN0eLxgrF23DMilPGG-lU9NwOEYFRRFlTPBcnfWYmEysr40zOnKitb~-Iw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Silver Creek School Corporation Board of Trustees voted 5-0 May 13 to change student start and end times for several schools beginning with the 2025–26 school year.

Board members said the tweak is intended to give transportation staff extra time to complete routes amid construction and traffic along major corridors. \"We're currently having, just with what we're currently facing with traffic and stuff... we're tweaking a little bit,\" Superintendent Dr. Briggs said at the meeting.

The adjustments approved by the board are: Silver Creek Primary student day from 8:10 a.m.–2:50 p.m. to 8:20 a.m.–3:00 p.m.; Silver Creek Elementary from 8:10 a.m.–3:00 p.m. to 8:20 a.m.–3:10 p.m.; middle school and high school from 7:40 a.m.–2:22 p.m. to 7:40 a.m.–2:25 p.m.; pre‑AM preschool from 8:45 a.m.–11:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.–11:45 a.m.; PM preschool remains 12:30 p.m.–3:30 p.m. PLCs on Wednesdays will adjust accordingly.

Board member Mister Groen moved the measure and Miss Franklin seconded; the motion carried unanimously, \"Aye,\" with no recorded opposition. Administrators emphasized car‑rider drop‑off times should remain the same and that principals and transportation staff will work to avoid changing family drop routines.

Transportation Director Kaye Hafer and building principals worked on the plan, Dr. Briggs said, and the small minute adjustments to the middle and high school day were described as restoring minutes previously removed. The board noted the change is intended to reduce bus delays caused in part by local redevelopment and traffic on Highway 31 and Highway 403.

The board will publish details for families and implement the revised schedule for the coming school year.

Less-critical scheduling specifics and building-level calendars were discussed during building reports at the meeting.","The Silver Creek School Corporation board voted 5-0 May 13 to adjust start and end times for the 2025–26 school year to allow extra time for bus routes affected by local traffic and construction.","actionData","errors"]
