The Carroll Consolidated School Corp board approved a series of routine personnel actions, summer-program requests, contract renewals and facilities purchases at its recent meeting.
Among personnel actions the board approved: hiring Luke Tanner as a maternity-leave substitute for third-grade teacher Ally Dylan beginning April 17, 2026; payment for third-grade remediation tutoring (six one-hour sessions at teachers’ hourly rates); appointment of Adam Tessinger as ninth-grade boys basketball coach (he indicated he would donate the $1,080 stipend back to the varsity program); multiple volunteer and paid coaching appointments for 2025–26 and 2026–27; and approval of part-time custodian Brandon Snider with a probationary hourly rate of $14.96 increasing to $16.92 after 45 days.
The board accepted the resignation of corporation nurse Kristen Hayes, effective April 17, 2026, and noted the position was posted. The board also approved an unpaid leave day for third-grade teacher Ally Dylan on April 3, 2026.
School programming and extracurricular approvals included permission for a June youth basketball camp, a volleyball camp (June 23–25, $40 per camper), a wrestling camp (June 15–17), a swim camp (June 9–23 with a family max of $150), a Super Hoops trip for high-school players (June 12–14, overnight dorm stay), a tennis fundraiser (April 15–May 1) and summer-school scheduling at Carroll Junior-Senior High (May 26–July 20, with most courses 20 days in length and SAE running throughout the summer).
On contracts and purchases, the board renewed its food-service management agreement with Chartwells for 2026–27 with a 3% increase in fees. The board approved a one-year subscription to Google Workspace for Education Plus at $6,600 to be purchased through FiveStar, with the superintendent citing improved security and instructional tools. Facilities work approved included installation of commercial-grade acoustical ceiling tiles in the high-school gym at $137,400 (to be paid from the 2023 lease-rental fund) and resealing the high-school parking lot at a cost of $34,186.
Community contributions accepted by the board included $300 and $200 from Valley View Baptist Church for student lunch accounts and supplies, $28.64 from elementary students for office supplies, $4,005 from the Blackbod Giving Fund and $4,325 from the Pledgelink Foundation to the Elementary Student Activities Fund.
“This is something we do each spring to help our students and we’ve had a lot of great success with that,” said Mr. Schuler in reference to the remediation tutoring program the board approved. Several board motions were moved and seconded on voice votes; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The board adjourned after approving the agenda items and shared routine administrative updates, including outreach with the Carroll Education Foundation and an administrative-office relocation to the high-school health classroom.
