Board approves consent agenda; updates internal controls and debt policy highlighted
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, noting updates to the internal control manual, a change to debt-management language to reflect a 'not to exceed 69¢ debt service tax rate,' several donations to school lunch debt and trip funds, and personnel items including retirements and a recommended SRO hire.
The Franklin Community School Corp. board approved the consent agenda after brief highlights from staff. A presenter summarized two policy updates: an updated internal controls manual with added federal/state grants and food-services procedures, and a debt management policy revised to reflect a maximum debt-service tax rate of "not to exceed 69¢," replacing the prior language (previously 64¢ plus or minus 5¢).
Staff also described two minor calendar adjustments for 2026–27 recommended by the calendar committee in response to family and staff survey feedback: Feb. 16, 2027 will be designated a snow makeup day and April 23 will be a regular school day but retain senior project activities.
Personnel items noted included long-serving staff retirements: Tim Kosh, high school band director (19 years), and Kelly Teague (25 years). The board announced a recommendation to consider Greg Stroll for a replacement school resource officer position; the candidate was interviewed by the committee.
The consent packet listed community donations toward school lunch debt and student trip support: examples included $2,000 from Jason and Jessica Ayers, $5,000 from a Fidelity Charitable donor-advised fund, and other smaller gifts to assist families. A presenter thanked community partners and foundations for supporting student needs.
Speaker 2 moved to approve the consent agenda; a board member seconded and the presiding official called the motion carried after an aye vote was indicated.
