Greensburg school board approves budget transfer, teacher-evaluation plan and personnel actions
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Greensburg Community Schools board unanimously approved a transfer to the district rainy day fund, adopted the GCS Teacher Evaluation Plan, accepted two donations, approved E‑Rate bids and several personnel appointments and retirements.
The Greensburg Community Schools board approved a series of routine financial and personnel actions at its regular meeting on March 10, 2026, voting unanimously on several motions and completing business in about 25 minutes.
Emily McNulty, chair, called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. and the board first approved the minutes of its Feb. 10, 2026 meeting and the presented vouchers. Tom Hunter, superintendent, then reported on district fund balances and the board approved the financial report.
Board members approved a "Resolution to Transfer amounts from Operations Fund to the Rainy Day Fund," a move intended to bolster the district's reserve account. The motion, made by Christy Norton and seconded by Meredith Acra, passed 6-0.
The board also approved a district policy on transaction fees for credit and debit card purchases: cardholders will pay transaction fees for extra‑curricular activity purchases only while the district continues to absorb cafeteria transaction fees. That motion, made by Ryan Maddux and seconded by Steve Stringer, passed 6-0.
Meredith Acra moved, and Christy Norton seconded, approval of the Greensburg Community Schools Teacher Evaluation Plan as presented; the motion passed unanimously. Superintendent Hunter provided the plan during his report and said formal adoption had been recommended by staff.
Under new business the board accepted two donations: $1,000 from Indiana Sports Corp. to the GES Library (Read to the Final Four Literacy Champion) and $1,750 from the Decatur County Community Action Coalition to the GHS Guidance Department; Jon Dooley made the motion to accept the donations and Christy Norton seconded.
The board granted permission to dispose of a 2011 IC/CE school bus (VIN ending 26128) with plans to sell it at Maddux; that motion passed 5-0 with Ryan Maddux recorded as abstaining from the vote. The board also appointed Jon Dooley to the Greensburg Redevelopment Board; the appointment passed 5-0 with Dooley abstaining. Other routine approvals included authorization of JAG college visits, acceptance of E‑Rate bids, and reappointment of Erica Haston to the Greensburg–Decatur County Library Board; all passed on unanimous votes where recorded.
Personnel actions approved included a leave of absence for Jennifer VanVolkenburgh, the retirement of Sherry Dunn at the end of the school year, the termination of Jacinthe Saylor from the GES cafeteria, and a slate of coaching and support staff appointments for 2026–27 (including Jason Glenn for Business/Computer Science and multiple assistant and volunteer coaches). Those personnel motions passed unanimously where votes are recorded.
The board noted the ISBA (Indiana School Boards Association) Spring meeting in Seymour on April 16, 2026, reminded members to notify district staff if they plan to attend, and set its next regular meeting for Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Christy Norton moved to adjourn; the meeting ended at 6:25 p.m.
What happened next: the board did not take further action on the draft district AI policy at this meeting; Superintendent Hunter said approval would be sought at a later date.
