Board approves consent agenda, homestead-credit resolution and two-year transportation agreement
Summary
In a single meeting the Tippecanoe School Corp board approved the routine consent agenda, adopted a resolution to implement 2026 homestead-credit mechanics under Senate Enrolled Act 1, and renewed a two-year transportation maintenance agreement with West Lafayette Community School Corporation effective July 1, 2026.
The Tippecanoe School Corp board carried several routine and administrative items by voice vote during the meeting.
Consent agenda: The board approved the routine consent agenda, including minutes from the previous meeting, by voice vote after no changes were requested. The motion to approve received a second and passed with no recorded opposition.
Homestead-credit resolution (SEA 1): The board adopted a resolution implementing mechanics for the newly enacted homestead credits under Senate Enrolled Act 1 for tax year 2026, allowing the district to spread credits between its tax funds for this year only. A finance memo was attached to the agenda and the finance presenter recommended adoption. The motion was moved, seconded and adopted as presented.
Transportation maintenance agreement: The board approved a renewal of a transportation maintenance agreement with the West Lafayette Community School Corporation under which Tippecanoe staff repair and maintain West Lafayette buses. The presenter said there are no recommended changes and that the department can handle the workload; funding from the agreement helps offset a mechanic's cost. The contract term on the record is July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028.
All three items were adopted by voice vote during the meeting; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
