Summary
The South Madison Community School Corporation board approved meeting minutes and accounts-payable vouchers, consolidated consent items 5.1–5.5, and authorized a state common school loan application to replace elementary classroom Google devices, with motions made and roll-call confirmation recorded.
During the Nov. 20 meeting of the South Madison Community School Corporation, the board completed routine business and approved a district application for a state low‑interest "common school loan" to fund replacement classroom technology.
A motion to approve the minutes of the Nov. 6, 2025 regular meeting was made, seconded and confirmed by roll call. The board then moved to approve accounts payable vouchers and took items 5.1–5.5 together under a consent motion; both motions were seconded and confirmed by roll call.
District staff described the loan request. "This request is for technology in the elementary classrooms to replace some Google technology that is going to be sunset," Mr. McCarty said, explaining the application is time‑sensitive because of the filing deadline. A motion to approve applying for the state common school loan was made and seconded; the board recorded affirmative votes on the record and the application was authorized.
No additional budget amounts or specific device counts were presented at the meeting; Mr. McCarty listed prior examples of what the loans had been used for but did not provide a dollar figure during his remarks. The record shows motions were made and approved by roll call for the minutes, vouchers, consent items and the loan application; no opposed votes were recorded in the transcript.
