Tell City board adopts consent items, approves hires and facility uses; schedules gym bid review
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Tell City‑Troy Twp School Corp board approved the agenda and consent items, cleared personnel and coaching hires, updated the athletic code of conduct, approved several building‑use requests, reinstated two snow days and confirmed a gym bid timeline; most motions passed unanimously.
The Tell City‑Troy Twp School Corp board on March 10 approved routine agenda and consent items, confirmed multiple personnel and volunteer hires, updated athletic code language and granted community groups use of district facilities.
The board adopted the agenda with two late additions, then approved the consent agenda and acknowledged three retirees: Lisa Hettinger (11 years), Pat Jarbo (13 years) and Greg Concincaid (31 years). The board approved personnel recommendations pending background checks, including a requested night‑to‑day custodian transfer and summer hires; motions on personnel were carried 5‑0.
Trustees approved a slate of athletics personnel and volunteers, including junior‑high assistant football coaches Braxton Bieber and Kyle Osborne and re‑enlisting Nick Wy for girls tennis. The board also approved updating the athletic code of conduct to allow switching sports mid‑season only with approval from both coaches; that codification passed 5‑0.
Several building‑use requests were approved: the Perry County Public Library’s dinosaur show at William Tell, a fourth/fifth grade ruckus softball program, City of Tell City lifeguard training at the district pool and a nonprofit group’s pool training — all motions carried unanimously.
On calendar matters, the board reinstated two snow days (including April 17 and the Friday before graduation) after the state granted instructional waiver days. Superintendent John said parents and staff will be notified by email.
On capital projects, the board confirmed the gym procurement schedule: notice to bidders went out March 3, a pre‑bid conference is scheduled this week, addenda are due March 26, the board will open bids April 2, and the district’s architect will present a recommendation April 10 ahead of a possible award at the following board meeting.
Votes at a glance: agenda/adoption (approved 5‑0); consent agenda (approved 5‑0); personnel and summer hires (approved 5‑0 pending background checks); athletic code update (approved 5‑0); all listed building‑use requests (approved 5‑0); calendar reinstatement for two snow days (approved 5‑0).
The board adjourned after facilities, playground and field maintenance items were discussed. Several trustees asked staff to develop cost estimates for athletic‑lighting and playground improvements for future consideration.
