The board read a prepared statement saying that, under the terms of Loffner’s contract, the highly effective rating triggers a one-year extension. “As such, Mr. Loffner's contract is extended to 06/30/2028,” the board said in the meeting statement.

Board members offered congratulations during the public meeting; no formal vote or motion tied to the extension was recorded in the public transcript, and the board described the extension as an outcome under the contract’s terms following the evaluation process.

Board members also noted upcoming ribbon-cutting events for newly completed schools and thanked the superintendent and staff for ongoing work on district projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","GCCS Board of School Trustees Meeting - June 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Greater Clark County School Board said a board evaluation rated Superintendent Mark Loffner 'highly effective' and that, per his contract terms, he received a one-year extension through June 30, 2028.","taxTitle","Greater Clark County Schools, School Boards, Indiana","taxId",14549,"location","Indiana","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6182101,"District recommends renewed property-and-casualty coverage; board approves modest rate increase",120,2643000,2763000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5109706-335dffac926129dec1f41c5ea9cccd81&start=2643&end=2763","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5109706-335dffac926129dec1f41c5ea9cccd81/thumbnail_2643000.jpg","/articles/6182101/Indiana/District-recommends-renewed-property-and-casualty-coverage-board-approves-modest-rate-increase","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182101-0886b57d42cb25bbcf3c75b54432b7e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448176&Signature=QmXA9amSmqv8UkOvg-SnYXm6miOWAmYxmC~t~cEfC6cDwqfw6vCNVQ2OKudsn0djrwSnjMpTnSHUovQ6po6L0LmzKuosNTnh6W64KvO-36wFFPl0R-CkvjXQ3XfocJ6nXbPAwWUU-1n~N5Pr9VvXU3uGDQZz9SDYcjkHpTB1RhIiDu6eNhs9fgyNDma~1IOunkZ155zaunGk3gcgRLVmciVnlWFzt2ABJN6fCEgS0V2M7naaCdcG2p4uzNFHHV8RFN4ZJpHSZWSk4QKPwLUvmxGCcfMUHEvU2~RfJDjpAIR-OM3Uesfu1q2SKySi6UWumYwy3ylIz1h1WM4XoYkeUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the June 24 Greater Clark County School Board meeting, district staff recommended renewing the district's property and casualty insurance through new broker arrangements and asked the board to approve the presented coverage and rates. Board members approved the renewal by voice vote.

Staff described the expected premium increase as “minimal” relative to statewide trends, saying the district would see an increase of about $147,000. Staff attributed some of the increase to higher replacement values for newly built facilities and to coverage additions for previously uninspected exposures, including storage tanks used for transportation fuel. “They found those gaps in our houses,” staff said, and staff reported that changing brokers earlier in the year helped secure competitive quotes.

Officials emphasized the district now has builder’s-risk coverage and that the broker Marsh McLennan provides an improved claims-handling contact. The district recommended the coverage presented in the board packet and said the renewal adequately aligns insured values with replacement costs.

A board member moved approval and a second was recorded; the board approved the coverage by voice vote with no recorded opposition in the public transcript.","District officials recommended and the board approved renewed property and casualty insurance coverage; staff said the premium increase would be roughly $147,000, driven partly by higher replacement values and newly identified exposures.",{"_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},6182106,"Board approves small increase to Perfection facilities contract; district and contractor outline software, staffing and construction updates",2063,400000,2463000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5109706-335dffac926129dec1f41c5ea9cccd81&start=400&end=2463","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5109706-335dffac926129dec1f41c5ea9cccd81/thumbnail_400000.jpg","/articles/6182106/Indiana/Board-approves-small-increase-to-Perfection-facilities-contract-district-and-contractor-outline-software-staffing-and-construction-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182106-1d20cd0160019308ae9a9dd555d3a358/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448176&Signature=Y1smfa7mGkjlz1SaUleWduF5MzXPjXaseWB7zptP-QWPLBZjNIytTPcM6g5BSP4kiWxnvnE1SzhtM8ENixQnBeTY9wQyNJ2bzAxRsNpNEWR6QxL0oIpiwK1OwZE-cuqZdkwKfP36b7pvSnF3cWm9svTA4jcwCo4XTPrgPirGf~c1nJG9xxCgT~bb7KvlkwsViGtZSC-V4uQLAsOu1KjJ8y0BAGKQcAOZuRygZRFzcv-tVCY~WbNleiAJ8iIh~JqeKXkRcKy7684BxoxGSLrkvDbjgUQZssaNns~Poh5UH3RIZBLamHoMrO6P7uHIF1-cX0v5rhNRoyl8Yv39ml~x2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the June 24 Greater Clark County School Board meeting, district staff and Perfection representatives described ongoing construction work, a new facility-management software onboarding, and requested an amendment to the existing facilities-management agreement. The board approved the requested amendment in a voice vote.

Perfection representatives and district staff detailed that the district is implementing a commercial facility-management platform to digitize building assets and improve work-order efficiency. “This contract will allow us to never be in that position again,” said Alex Hunt, introduced by presenters as a liaison between construction and on-site trades. Hunt told the board the software will map assets, floor plans and maintenance histories so future staff “will know where every shutoff valve is, every electrical box, at what breaker goes to which box” with “the click of a button.” Christopher Kenny, a mechanical engineer on Perfection's team, said the platform will support preventive maintenance and controls integration.

District staff sought and the board approved an amendment to the five-year Perfection facilities-management contract to add staff and services tied to new buildings and summer work. Staff described the amendment as increasing the contract by $49,008.83 while Perfection continues to guarantee estimated operational savings of more than $346,000. The requested additions include two custodians for two new elementary schools, one floating FTE to cover vacancies and events, one floor-cleaning specialist to support expanded floor-care needs, and an additional maintenance position. Staff emphasized these requests respond to new building square footage and operational needs.

Construction updates presented included roofing replacements, ongoing work at Jeff High and Charlestown High, nearing completion of roofs at Pike and Parkwood elementaries, and the natatorium roofing scheduled to start soon. Perfection representatives said move-in activities for several new schools are largely complete and that old buildings are being cleared for demolition; they noted a projected several-month timeline before all parking and staging areas will be finished.

A district representative moved approval of the contracted amendment and a second was recorded. The board approved the amendment by voice vote; no recorded nay or abstention was noted in the public transcript. District staff said after the vote that Perfection will continue to assist with utility-rate negotiations, controls upgrades and other efforts intended to reduce operating costs.

The amendment was an approved contract modification; staff said further implementation details and staffing assignments will be handled administratively between district operations and Perfection.","The school board approved a $49,008.83 amendment to the district's facilities-management agreement with Perfection; presenters described a new facility-management software rollout, staffing additions for two new elementary schools, and summer roofing and HVAC work.",{"_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},6182109,"Greater Clark County Schools end May with $20.1 million balance; operations fund shows $1.1 million shortfall",123,69000,192000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5109706-335dffac926129dec1f41c5ea9cccd81&start=69&end=192","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5109706-335dffac926129dec1f41c5ea9cccd81/thumbnail_69000.jpg","/articles/6182109/Indiana/Greater-Clark-County-Schools-end-May-with-201-million-balance-operations-fund-shows-11-million-shortfall","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182109-8b9d7ffe17fa0387bf685b99abac7565/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448176&Signature=Hk1Qdrcb5hP3LvDi0Swu0X0~t7Uir8Eqd1BTvOSyVb3~6ElXy-Mfg0lIPwgDy5WECw6Bn6iTBnpv9LjQfTQ-49u38giquFLvQAWbU5OJTiMu5Sps1mB7lrSZiFXTKaAUMghhugQ~8gJBhPAZgPzMkXqRn~vwIB~DhW~cTPW49neM4QztAXABgHZO4fuChwjL9s6BdnrdvZfnmhp7z-h5ZQ~Rs66Q-H8VO-wAxGpd1XdWs7om9l-6mApmS1ohuLHbdY1ttG~6wFZxIEpHh1HXx3zAnXSVz2yoNxgzoWDGfH~rBM2iOSRa~e7Qh04FHtm8WJioTDFqg7u7Ks3kJe1WTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the June 24 meeting of the Greater Clark County School Board of Trustees, finance staff reported the district ended May with a $20,136,000 overall balance while the operations fund showed an approximate $1.1 million deficit.

The update came as district staff described the period leading into budget season and underscored uncertainty from state-level tax changes. “We ended May with an ending balance of $20,136,000,” finance staff said, adding that the operations fund was “ending May in the negative of 1,100,000.0.”

The nut of the presentation was planning for the 2026 budget: May numbers will be compared to 2024 figures and June totals — which the treasurer said will be crucial for the upcoming budget cycle — and staff said they will present June’s results at the board’s second July meeting. Finance staff warned that legislative changes, including what they described as “Senate Bill 1” and other property-tax credit shifts, could reduce revenue available to schools and city services in future years.

Finance staff explained that the district receives two major distributions, in June and December, that help smooth cash flow. They said the district’s debt-service account holds a roughly $5.3 million cash balance and a designated “rainy day” fund remains at $12 million; staff said they plan to preserve that reserve in anticipation of statewide tax changes that could affect revenues in 2028–2030. “Any rainy day fund still remains at $12,000,000,” finance staff said.

Board members had no formal questions recorded on the report during the meeting beyond acknowledging the items and preparing for the budget schedule staff circulated by email. Staff emphasized that the district is continuing to update its five-year financial plan and said they are unable to fully predict how the state will show textbook-rental reimbursements in the school funding formula.

The presentation was an informational report; the board took no immediate vote on policy or budget adoption during the meeting. Staff said they will return with June figures and additional budget work later in the summer as part of the 2026 budget process.","District finance staff told the school board the district finished May with a $20,136,000 ending balance but an operations fund deficit of about $1.1 million; staff warned statewide property-tax and levy changes could reduce revenue in coming years.","actionData","errors"]
