Summary
The Tri-Township Cons School Corp board held a project hearing March 30, 2026, in Wanatah and unanimously approved a set of resolutions — including a project resolution, a resolution determining need, approval of the form of a second amendment to lease, and a reimbursement resolution — to move a proposed school project forward. Presenters from Stifel and Ice Miller spoke; the minutes do not specify dollar amounts.
The Tri-Township Consolidated School Corporation (Tri-Township Cons School Corp) board met March 30, 2026, at the Tri-Township Schools cafeteria in Wanatah and unanimously approved a package of resolutions to advance a proposed school project.
Vice President Aaron Rust moved to open the project hearing; the motion was seconded by board member Nick Poort and recorded as passing with "ALL AYES." The hearing included a statement of purpose delivered by Luke Bruggeman of Stifel and Josh Winters of the law firm Ice Miller; the minutes list their participation but do not include verbatim remarks or identify their specific titles in the record.
The board subsequently considered and approved a project resolution (motioned by Aaron Rust; seconded by Chad Howell), a "Resolution Determining Need for Project" (motioned by Melanie Mills; seconded by Chad Howell), a resolution approving the form of a second amendment to the district's lease (motioned by Melanie Mills; seconded by Nick Poort), and a reimbursement resolution (motioned by Chad Howell; seconded by Nick Poort). Each of those motions was recorded as passing with "ALL AYES." The minutes do not provide the full text of the resolutions in the record.
The agenda listed separate items for "Educational Need for Project" and "Financial Impact of Project." The minutes note those agenda items were addressed but do not record specific findings, enrollment projections, cost estimates, funding sources, bond amounts, or other quantitative financial details. The public comment period was recorded as "none."
The meeting record closes with a motion to adjourn by Aaron Rust, seconded by Nick Poort, which was recorded as carrying by "ALL AYES." The minutes attached to the record list board officers and attendees but do not include roll-call vote-by-name breakdowns for the recorded unanimous votes.
What this means: the board took formal steps to authorize and document the district's decision to proceed with the project and associated financing steps; the minutes show unanimous support but leave key implementation details — including the lease amendment language and any reimbursement amounts or funding sources — unspecified in the written record. The board will need to publish or provide the full resolution texts and financial exhibits for members of the public seeking the precise terms.
