On June 18, 2025, the Silver Creek School Corporation board received an update on district finances and operations that said near‑term revenues are tracking as expected while the district finished major construction work at the high school.

The finance and operations presentation, delivered during the regular board meeting at Silver Creek Elementary School, outlined revenue drivers to watch, fraud‑prevention steps the district has implemented and a Phase 3 high‑school remodel that the presenter said will be ready for the start of the school year.

Dr. Balmer, who presented the financial and operations update, said, “As far as the financial, health, everything's kinda trending as expected right now, especially in education and operation fund. We do are setting see expanders are exceeding revenue in both of those, but, yeah, that's, for the education, that's contributed to the salary increases and the curriculum material cost.” He told the board the district will monitor fall average daily membership (ADM) as the school year begins because per‑pupil funding and curriculum material reimbursements will affect the final fiscal picture.

Balmer reported the district received its Form 22 report and said, “it appears right now circuit breaker's coming in a little less than anticipated,” though he cautioned a final assessment awaits the December settlement. He also announced a change to the district's banking controls: “Do you wanna give the finance team a huge shout out for the implementation of positive pay? This is the daily approval process with our bank, but it protects our district from financial losses associated with check tampering, unauthorized withdrawals, and other fraudulent activity.” He said monthly financial reports are now posted to the district website after each monthly board meeting.

On operations and facilities, Balmer described summer work to prepare for the coming school year and progress on the high‑school remodel. “Phase 3 with the high school is nearing the finish line, and the new space looks amazing,” he said, noting the project adds about 120,000 square feet and includes PLTW, culinary, media and broadcasting spaces. He said teams are working on moving and furniture logistics and that auditorium repairs are complete. He thanked Mr. Sheffield for his efforts on the audio program.

A board member noted uncertainty around state legislation and how it could affect the district’s budget, saying the board needs to await the full effects of recent bills before finalizing longer‑term plans. The meeting included time for questions; no formal financial actions or budget votes were taken at the session.

The board adjourned after approving the consent agenda and other routine items. The next regular meeting is scheduled for July 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the district meeting room, according to announcements at the end of the session.
