Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, adopted proposed 2026 meeting dates, approved field trip and conference requests, adopted an athletic pay schedule and accepted multiple community donations including $31,373 for the JRW Career Lab.
The MSD Martinsville Schools board moved through routine business on its December meeting and approved several action items, including the consent agenda, a 2026 meeting schedule and multiple community donations.
Board President Heather Staggs presented the consent agenda—minutes, payroll and budgetary claims and the personnel report—and an unidentified board member moved for approval. The motion was recorded as carrying.
Action items approved during the meeting included:
- A revised date for an orchestra overnight, now scheduled March 7–11, which the board approved. - Funding for a staff member to attend the Indiana Music Educators Association state conference in Fort Wayne in January, approved on the board floor. - Adoption of the 2026 school board meeting dates, keeping the board on the third Thursday of each month with an October adjustment. - An updated athletic event pay schedule intended to keep compensation competitive with neighboring districts; the board said the athletic director and staff helped craft the schedule. - Acceptance of a group of community donations supporting athletics and programs: Candy Kitchen ($500 to Martinsville High School athletics), Martinsville Education Foundation ($500 to MHS athletics), Martinsville Vision Clinic ($500 to MHS athletics), HRS Heating and Cooling ($900 to MHS athletics), Tip Top Car Wash ($1,000 to MHS athletics), Advantage Manufacturing ($2,500 to MSD of Martinsville) and Justin and Jennifer Clements ($31,373 to the JRW Career Lab). The board moved to accept all donations and the motion carried.
When votes were called the record shows members signaled "aye" and the chair announced the motions carried; no opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The board did not discuss changes to the donations or itemize program eligibility at the meeting; such details were not specified in the record.
