Greencastle school board approves Five Star agreement, donations, sponsors and personnel via unanimous consent
Summary
At its Sept. 22 meeting the Greencastle Community School Corporation board unanimously approved a package of consent agenda items including minutes, claims, the August financial report, personnel actions and separate motions to approve a Five Star agreement, solicit an additional appropriation, a $1,500 McDonald’s athletic sponsorship and multiple donations.
The Greencastle Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees unanimously approved a slate of routine and recommended items at its Sept. 22 regular meeting, including consent-agenda minutes and financials, personnel actions and several separate approvals brought by Superintendent Jeff Gibboney.
The board voted to approve the consent agenda, which encompassed executive-session and regular meeting minutes from Aug. 25, payroll and claims lists for late August and September and the August 2025 financial reports showing beginning balances, revenues, expenditures and ending balances. Isaac Case moved to approve the consent agenda; Megan Inman seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The personnel portion of the consent agenda recorded multiple departures and hires. Notable personnel actions included the resignation of Cory Hill, the district’s Technology Director (effective Sept. 26, 2025), and certified and classified resignations and extracurricular resignations listed in the Personnel Report Part I. Part II established transfers, new hires and extra-curricular appointments, including new coaching and sponsor assignments (for example, Matthew Welker as girls varsity basketball coach and Mark Thurow as yearbook sponsor). Three retirees were recognized earlier in the meeting: Courtney Dickey (18 years of service, 12 at GCSC), Jane Roberson (23.5 years, 19 at GCSC) and Julia Carr (41 years).
Separately, the board approved an agreement with Five Star after a recommendation from Superintendent Gibboney. Jimmy Beasley moved approval and Isaac Case seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The board also granted permission to advertise an additional appropriation for the district (moved by Kathryn Dory; seconded by Megan Inman) and approved an Athletic Corporation sponsorship from McDonald’s in the amount of $1,500 (moved by Isaac Case; seconded by Kathryn Dory). Both motions carried unanimously.
Trustees approved multiple donations presented by Mr. Gibboney: construction of two batting tunnels/cages to GHS Athletics from the RBI Club (valued at $13,675), a $1,500 gift to GHS Choir from Gary and Linda Huber, $500 gifts to GHS and GMS FFA from Jeff and Denise Sigworth, $1,250 to GMS Choir from the Peter R. Marsh Foundation, $500 to Deer Meadow from Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial (Taylor Farley), and $500 to Deer Meadow from the Mary Allison Children’s Trust. Jimmy Beasley moved approval of the donation package; Kathryn Dory seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The board took no separate roll-call tallies beyond noting motions carried unanimously. The meeting moved on after the approvals; Stewart Wenning of Five Star was later introduced under other business.
The board is scheduled to continue routine oversight activities and follow up on advertised appropriations and any vendor contract implementation as required by district procedures.
