Summary
Trustees approved the 2026‑27 school calendar and several personnel actions, unanimously approved a football uniform purchase and multiple hires, and accepted a series of resignations; discussion items included the softball field funding request and facility repairs.
At its meeting Monday, the Brown County School Board approved several motions and personnel actions, and recorded unanimous votes on purchases and hires.
Calendar: Trustees moved to adopt the 2026‑27 school calendar after staff described changes to professional‑development days and flex‑day arrangements for teachers. The board voted to adopt the calendar as presented.
Athletics equipment and uniforms: The board approved a purchase of football jerseys and pants. Packet materials list an equipment total of $19,009.95; during discussion trustees noted that vendor rebate or product credit arrangements (for example, a $3,000 Nike product credit) were part of the offer. A motion to approve the purchase was moved and seconded and the chair recorded the motion as passed 6‑0.
Wrestling and athletics programs: Trustees discussed middle‑ and high‑school wrestling participation, costs (coaching, entry fees, transportation) and equipment needs (singlets, mats). The board moved and approved continuing/sponsoring the high‑school wrestling program and discussed steps to make it sustainable, including sourcing coaches, singlets (about $60 each) and spare practice mats.
Personnel and resignations: The board accepted multiple resignations and approved several hires, all recorded as unanimous votes. Actions approved include acceptance of resignations (assistant coaching and other staff) and hiring approvals for: • Daskin Bruni — HHS assistant track coach • Sarah Davis — HHS Spanish teacher • Rebecca Leach — HMS/HHS school nurse • Jacob Rincher — Fifth‑grade science teacher
Facilities and repairs: Staff reported on fire marshal inspections and a vendor bid to repair retractable basketball goals and volleyball nets ($5,500 for middle‑school work), with the middle‑school gym scheduled for repairs June 1–4.
The board recorded multiple formal outcomes during the meeting; no vote to commit district funds to the Championship Sports Complex was taken at this session, and trustees requested further detail and written cost summaries from project representatives before considering any financial support.
