Board appoints Lori Grubbs to Jackson Township seat on Southeast Fountain School Corp. board

The Southeast Fountain School Corp. Board of School Trustees appointed Lori Grubbs on June 23, 2026, to fill the board's vacant Jackson Township seat, the board announced during a regularly scheduled meeting.

Board members moved quickly through the appointment after a nomination. "I nominate Lori Grubbs," said a committee member. Shortly afterward, another committee member said, "I move to appoint Lori Grubbs to fill the vacant Jackson Township seat on the Southeast Fountain School Corp. Board of School Trustees." A colleague seconded the motion and the chair called for a voice vote; the board approved the appointment by voice. The transcript records the outcome as "All in favor," but does not include a roll-call or numerical tally.

The presiding officer introduced the item by citing the board's appointment process under Southeast Fountain School Corporation board policy and "Indiana law regarding vacancies on a governing body," saying the board would consider filling the Jackson Township vacancy. After nominations were closed, the board moved to appoint Grubbs without further debate.

The transcript does not include a statement from Lori Grubbs, nor does it record which board members made or seconded the motions by name. The board then moved to adjourn; members approved the motion and the meeting ended at 5:35 p.m.

The appointment fills the Jackson Township seat; the board did not include additional details in the transcript about term length, whether the appointment is interim until an election, or other conditions. Those details were not specified in the meeting record provided.
