Smith-Green Community Schools holds public hearing on collective bargaining; no public testimony
Summary
Smith-Green Community Schools opened a public hearing on collective bargaining Sept. 17, 2025, citing Indiana Code 20-29-6-1A and board policy 0167.3; no members of the public registered to speak during the comment period.
Smith-Green Community Schools convened a public hearing on collective bargaining on Sept. 17, 2025, at the Smith-Green Administration Office. The chair opened the hearing and read the district mission statement before explaining public-comment procedures.
The chair said the hearing would accept public testimony “in accordance to Indiana code 20-29-6-1A and in accordance with the board policy of 0167.3,” and told attendees that persons wishing to comment must register on a sign-in sheet provided prior to the meeting start. The chair noted that, at the time of the announcement, “unfortunately, we don't have any speakers, so we will wait and see if anybody shows up.”
Meeting materials show the time was referenced at about 3:31 p.m. when the location and mission statement were read; a later time check recorded 3:40 p.m., at which point no speakers had registered and the public comment period closed without testimony. The record indicates the hearing was held as a formal part of the agenda, tied specifically to SGCTA and the district’s collective-bargaining process.
No motions, votes, or formal actions on bargaining terms were recorded in the transcript. The hearing opened the public-comment window required by statute and district policy but produced no public testimony on the record.
