The North Windsor United School Corporation board approved a series of routine business items at its April 2026 meeting, including minutes, financial reports and multiple personnel actions.
A staff presenter summarized the district’s most recent savings and fund reflections; the board moved to approve the treasurer’s report (vote: motion carried). The board approved claims totaling $266,590.29 since the last meeting after staff presented voucher line items.
Personnel actions approved included acceptance of resignations (elementary teacher Lance Robbins; social worker Nikki Gail; and teacher Mike Booth, who is retiring) and multiple recommended hires: Jeff Schafer for maintenance director, Heather Robinson for an elementary teaching position (location to be determined), Claire Brickman and Maddie Fellow for summer school (grades 2–3), Sheldon Miller to replace a middle school science teacher, and Abby Glazer for a high‑school guidance counselor role. The board recorded abstentions where noted for two items involving summer-school staffing and the guidance-counselor appointment.
Under new business the board approved continuing a three-year website and search-visibility partnership with Leech at $7,990 per year. The staff presenter said the contract is intended to increase web traffic and take advantage of a new district website launch. The board also approved the 2026–27 elementary handbook (second reading and adoption) and set first readings for the middle- and high-school handbooks; staff flagged a legislative change related to wireless communication devices that will require additional handbook language.
Other routine approvals included moving the May 25, 2026 meeting (Memorial Day) to Saturday, May 23 at 1:00 p.m.; approving a boys tennis summer camp scheduled for July for incoming grades 5–9; approving field trips (with one abstention noted for Holiday World); and approving five facility use requests. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn and enter closed session; the motion was seconded and carried.
No formal votes failed during the meeting and no controversial items were recorded on the public agenda.
