Borden-Henryville board approves personnel additions, consultant and HR service renewals
Summary
At a regular meeting, the Borden-Henryville School Corporation board approved multiple personnel appointments, a consulting agreement for special-populations data, a property-tax analytics engagement, two grant application permissions and continued HR services by voice vote; several emergency personnel additions were also approved.
The Borden-Henryville School Corporation board approved a package of personnel items, service contracts and grant permissions at its regular meeting, with motions carried by voice vote.
Superintendent Brent Comer summarized the agenda items and recommended approvals. The board added three emergency items to the agenda, including an HR-services agreement with JA Benefits and two personnel recommendations for junior-high golf coaches, which the board approved after a motion and second. Comer told the board that JA Benefits provides 24/7 HR support and has helped with staff handbooks and administrative training.
The board approved a continuation agreement with Curtis and Libers Consulting to support special-populations data collection and state and federal reporting, which the superintendent described as “instrumental” to reevaluations and required reporting. The board also approved engaging Policy Analytics LLC for property-tax base and revenue analytics to estimate impacts of statewide changes (the superintendent said the engagement would begin with four reports a year to assess, for example, effects from Senate Bill 1).
Other actions approved by the board included declaring bus B1 obsolete after repair estimates exceeded the vehicle’s value, and granting permission for coaches to apply for two grants: a $2,500 Indianapolis Codes grant for the high school football program and an Indiana K–12 robotics competition grant (the superintendent said the robotics request could seek between $25,000 and $50,000 to offset registration and travel costs).
The board approved a consent agenda that included multiple certified and classified personnel appointments, internal transfers and extracurricular (ECA) assignments; one background check on the agenda remained pending. The superintendent noted some items would need to be re-presented to the board next session if dates or seasons were misprinted on the agenda.

Board and meeting context The presiding officer stated a quorum was present. Several motions were made, seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records the board’s voice approvals but does not provide individual roll‑call tallies for each item. The superintendent and board members discussed construction and scheduling of field-house projects and noted follow-up on pending background checks and potential corrections to agenda season/year listings.
Next steps The board set its next regular meeting for May 11 at the district office. Several items discussed—such as items that may contain misprinted seasons or pending checks—were flagged for follow-up at a future session.
