Elkhart board approves consent items, calendar revision, fuel contracts and budget transfers
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (including a $1,000 donation to JROTC), waived a second reading and adopted the 2026–27 calendar revision, authorized fuel contract awards for 2026, and approved transfers to close out the 2025 budget.
Vice President Weaver called for votes on several routine and budget items during the meeting.
Consent agenda: The board accepted a $1,000 donation from the Elkhart Education Foundation for the district JROTC program and approved the consent agenda by voice vote.
2026–27 calendar: Administration requested a waiver of the second reading to adopt revisions to the 2026–27 calendar (correcting Memorial Day to May 31, 2027; adding three built-in asynchronous days; and adding a built-in snow day on March 26 that would be used only if asynchronous or synchronous instruction could not occur). A motion to adopt the revised calendar and waive the second reading was made, seconded and approved.
Fuel contracts: The business office recommended award of fuel contracts for the 2026 school year; the board moved, seconded and approved the award recommendation.
Transfer of appropriations: Miss Ross presented a resolution to transfer appropriations to balance the 2025 fiscal year accounts. The board voted to approve the transfer resolution to move funds between object codes as needed to close the year.
No detailed roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript for these motions; the board approved each item by the standard motion-second and voice-vote process recorded in the meeting minutes.
