Summary
The Warrick County School Corp. board approved the 2026–27 elementary student handbook and accepted several donations — including a $7,320 gift designated for ABS classrooms serving students with autism — during its meeting. Board members approved the handbook with only minor calendar and URL updates noted.
The Warrick County School Corp. board voted to approve the 2026–27 elementary student handbook and accepted several community donations during the meeting.
Dr. Redmond recommended the handbook be approved, telling trustees the changes were minor and would be incorporated before printing. "I recommend the board approve the handbook as presented," Dr. Redmond said. He said updates include the new calendar, a corrected URL and policy changes that arose after the agenda was printed.
The board also approved a set of donations. Among them: Elberfeld Elementary received $2,400 for class field trips and $1,600 for student computer programs (Quaver and Achieve); three $500 donations from the Sons of the American Legion to pay past-due lunch balances (Sharon, Newburgh and John H. Castle elementaries); and a $500 donation from Greer Township trustees to Tecumseh High School’s backpack food program. The agenda listed a $7,320 donation from Erie Canal Beagle Club members specifically designated "to benefit the Warrick County School Corp. ABS classrooms," identified as serving students with autism. "They just asked that it would in some way support any of the programming that occurs, that those classrooms in our district," Dr. Redmond said.
Motions to approve the handbook and to accept the donations were made and seconded; each was adopted by voice vote.
What happens next: the handbook will be printed with the updates Dr. Redmond described; donations will be processed and applied to the programs named by donors. The board did not identify any follow‑up reporting requirements for the donations during the meeting.
