The MSD Boone Township school board took several routine and programmatic actions at its June 9 meeting, approving a transfer‑student application deadline, an international student trip, donations to athletics and a memorandum of understanding with local police to continue school resource officer coverage.
Votes at a glance • Transfer‑student deadline: Board approved an August 1 deadline to accept transfer applications for the 2026–27 school year. (Motion approved.) • Overnight international field trip (Paris and Normandy, 2028): Mrs. Allen presented the trip with standard requirements; board approved the trip and noted students will pay associated costs and additional chaperones may be added based on sign‑ups. • Donations: The board accepted a $2,484 donation from Chad Patrick to support the boys baseball team's travel and snacks and a $400 donation from the Northwest Indiana Hustle Basketball Club to support boys basketball—$2,884 total. (Motion approved.) • School resource officer MOU: Board approved an updated memorandum of understanding to continue partnerships with local police for school resource officers; administration said terms are substantially the same as last year.
Board members moved and seconded the motions and approved all items by voice vote; the transcript records the motions and that the motions passed but does not provide individual recorded roll‑call tallies in the minutes. Administrators said the items were mostly maintenance of existing programs and partnerships and that the donations and an initial $30,000 check from the Porter County Community Foundation will be included on the next board meeting agenda for formal acceptance of grant funding and follow‑up detail. The board also heard updates about hiring for a structured social‑emotional classroom and construction progress on a new addition.
Administrators asked staff to include the grant disbursement item on the next agenda; donors and partner agencies were thanked publicly at the meeting.
