Summary
At its March 24 meeting the Hanover Community School Corp. Board of Trustees approved revised 2026–27 school fees (including a $10 CPR certification charge), authorized applying for an $85,000 technology loan, adopted multiple revised policies, and accepted $8,050 in community donations for school programs.
The Hanover Community School Corp. Board of Trustees voted March 24 to approve several administrative changes and to accept community donations.
The board approved revised 2026–27 school pricing, adding a $10 fee for CPR certification training that will be charged to participants. The motion to approve the revised fees was made and seconded and passed by roll call.
The board also voted to authorize staff to apply for the spring 2026 common school technology loan in the amount of $85,000. The loan was described as a five-year term at 1% interest; the board approved the application by roll call.
Members approved revisions to multiple district policies, including the policy on audio, video and digital recording of meetings (policy 24-10), reproductive health and family planning instruction (policy 24-14), student privacy and parental access to information, and the recording of IEP team meetings (policy 2461), among others listed during the meeting. A motion to adopt the revised policies was made, seconded and approved by roll call.
The board accepted donations totaling $8,000 to be combined with a Crown Point Community Foundation grant to purchase metal interchangeable signs and STEM stations along the outdoor trail at Lincoln Elementary School. The list of donors read into the record included local businesses, PTO groups and families. “This is fantastic. We have a great community,” the presiding officer said after the vote.
Separately, the board approved acceptance of a $50 donation from Emily Levin on behalf of Meadow Miller to the Jane Ball Tree Huggers Club.
Other business: the board voted to return to a once‑a‑month meeting schedule beginning in April for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year. Board members also shared brief announcements about upcoming junior varsity and varsity volleyball and encouraged voting in a regional school contest.
