Regarding a bid for an access-control security project, McCarty said the administration was \"requesting permission to proceed\" and asked the board to approve the contract. A motion to approve the access-control bid was made and the board recorded affirmative voice responses.

McCarty also presented the annual school lunch pricing for the 2025–26 school year and asked for approval of the noncertified salary schedule; he said the noncertified rates are unchanged from 2024. The board approved these items by motion or consent.

On property and casualty insurance renewal, McCarty provided a current quote and warned that market changes have driven increases. He noted an approximately $80,000 difference between this year and next year and described drivers including higher replacement costs for property (including buses) and a higher payroll that affected the workers' compensation modification. McCarty said the district uses Travelers and IPEP for some coverages and that the workers' compensation modification moved from about 0.98 to a higher figure; he said staff would verify carrier details and that a special session in June could be called if needed. No formal roll-call tally was read on the record; the insurance renewal discussion included a request to limit approvals to a not-to-exceed amount pending final quotes.

Other administrative items approved or presented included adoption of the 2026 budget calendar and administrative contracts; the board also approved bid and contract items as presented.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","SMCSC Board Meeting (6/5/2025)","oneSentenceSummary","Mr. McCarty presented five contracts and asked the board to approve an access-control security bid, school lunch pricing for 2025–26, the noncertified salary schedule and the 2026 budget calendar; the board approved the items by motion or consent.","taxTitle","South Madison Com Sch Corp, School Boards, Indiana","taxId",54439,"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},6178864,"South Madison board approves Ryan Povich as dean and athletic director; multiple appointments accepted by consent",72,311000,383000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5188443-dfb44ddd00c3234d24389ea4916487a2&start=311&end=383","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5188443-dfb44ddd00c3234d24389ea4916487a2/thumbnail_311000.jpg","/articles/6178864/Indiana/South-Madison-board-approves-Ryan-Povich-as-dean-and-athletic-director-multiple-appointments-accepted-by-consent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6178864-af3e353b57a1a81492cc1b0166208ab3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770655770&Signature=grqVbqzvWI9Jz7d2Pa3gpe3W1o12VJmIwYVKZaQ7t9-TTh8if7RC7h1lC4hjS3EhBbXd4Go5QqQg3FUlU6hEePrsglig5DFyx-BGEzuw9mhNBuomwcKDSGKUDqjJiK4J5Kt1OcW0z4lX41LUAXr8ldBEXdZB--2bz1D37Va1lOvYweQRrDGvj~Wwh~FecpqirlyIQ0uBd9QJr5CFCI6o0B~4FuLsD9LCtcHwKgqxMm-wEbKAOD0dpO67WFqO3oy-UniBX~DLM4poNh1QmXVXzY2t-WLccNGvYP~HAh2oYPh8JryGEPVSpqnQtJAu86NIU-SzbUjcHYNut8zXY3X1qA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","President Ward said the administration recommended Ryan Povich be employed by the district as dean and athletic director and the board moved to approve the recommendation.

\"I am here tonight to report to you our annual results from our dyslexia screening,\" Doctor Miller said, adding the screening is done within the first 90 days of school and uses a test certified by the state. She clarified the screening is not a diagnosis: a medical physician would diagnose dyslexia and the district is identifying students who show potential characteristics.

According to Doctor Miller, the district screened just over 1,000 students in kindergarten through second grade this year. The initial screening identified 58 students who showed characteristics warranting further assessment. With parental permission the district conducts a level 1 screening and begins interventions; staff then refine testing and supports as appropriate. \"I noticed I left the percentage off of that 71. That's about that's right at 7 percent of our students that we have done we do intervention with on a regular basis,\" Doctor Miller said and said she would update the draft report with the percentage before posting it to the district website.

No formal action was taken by the board on the screening report at the meeting; the item was presented as information and board members had the opportunity to ask questions.

The presentation noted the screening is a state-certified process required within the first 90 days of the school year and that follow-up testing and parent notification are part of the district's procedure.","At the June 5 board meeting, staff reported that the district screened just over 1,000 kindergarten through second-grade students for characteristics of dyslexia; 58 students were identified for follow-up screening and intervention.

The intent, Doctor Hall said, is to bring the policies back for approval in July so the district can finalize new handbooks before the start of the school year. The board did not take action on the first reading at the June 5 meeting; the item was presented for review and discussion.","Doctor Hall presented several policy revisions as a first reading; the changes are intended to align district policy language with federal guidance and laws.
