The Tipp City Exempted Village Schools Board approved multiple routine and contract items, including a $50,000 advance to the athletic fund, a bus‑maintenance design contract and the 2025–26 school fee schedule; roll‑call votes were recorded on each motion.
The Tipp City Exempted Village Schools Board on the record approved a slate of routine and contract items, starting with a motion to adopt the meeting agenda and concluding with the approval of multiple contracts and the 2025–26 fee schedule.
Among the formal actions, the board advanced $50,000 from the general fund to the high‑school athletic fund (Fund 300‑9504) to cover preseason expenses and cash‑flow timing. The motion to advance the funds was moved by Mister Maines and passed on roll‑call vote. The treasurer explained the advance is commonly repaid once event revenues begin.
The board also approved a design‑services contract with Gardner Miller Associates for the bus‑maintenance project, noting the project scope increased from an initial two‑bay design to a larger three‑bay facility to serve a fleet of about 22 buses. The bus‑maintenance contract motion was moved by Mister Thompson and seconded by Missus McMurray; it passed on roll call.
Officials approved the 2025–26 school fee schedule with reductions at the elementary and middle levels and no increases at the high‑school level. Board members noted the district’s longer‑term aim is to reduce or eliminate fees when budget conditions allow. The fees motion was moved by Mister Maine and seconded by Missus Dillard; the motion passed.
Routine business cleared on the consent agenda included prior meeting minutes, personnel items (resignations and new hires for 2025–26) and online scheduling for Tipp City EVC. The consent agenda passed by roll‑call vote.
