Summary
At the same meeting the board approved a parent handbook for the new employee daycare, authorized applying for $361,600 in state Common School Fund money for Chromebook replacements, and received a financial report showing education and operations fund balances.
The Sunman‑Dearborn Community School Corporation board also approved a parent handbook for the newly authorized employee daycare and authorized submitting an application for $361,600 from the Common School Fund to replace Chromebooks.
During the meeting the board voted to allow the administration to apply for $361,600 to be repaid over five years from the debt service fund; the application is intended to replace Chromebooks for middle and early high school grades. The board approved the application after brief discussion; the vote passed with one board member recorded as opposed.
Miss Baines presented the financial operations report for February, reporting the education fund a little below $1.22 million, an operations fund balance of $762,000 and total funds across accounts just over $21 million. She noted a planned transfer of $400,000 from education to operations effective March 1 and said March projections showed no major changes to current plans.
Separately, the board approved routine consent items including personnel actions (hires, resignations, retirements) and overnight student trips. Several principals gave school updates on testing (iRead/iLearn), student activities, FCCLA competition results and upcoming events.
All votes noted in the meeting transcript were recorded as "motion passes" with one dissenting vote on several items; the transcript does not identify individual roll‑call votes by name.
