The Norwin School District Board of Education received a presentation on the district's 3-3-9 counseling and career plan and heard the district's annual audit before approving a series of routine agenda items.
Doug Ingram (presenting the 3-3-9 plan) described the proposal as a comprehensive alignment of counseling, career education, and academic curriculum across multiple review cycles. He said the plan incorporates new state career-education standards effective in July and adds a workforce-development coordinator to strengthen employer partnerships and experiential opportunities. Ingram told the board the plan will be publicly accessible for 28 days and is scheduled for board approval next month.
During the audit report, Kim Turnley said auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the financial statements and found no internal-control findings in the single-audit compliance testing. Turnley highlighted that the general fund ended the year with about $5.8 million in fund balance and the capital projects fund with about $4.6 million. She noted general-fund expenditures finished approximately $164,000 over a roughly $91 million budget and pointed to a supplemental "Ready to Learn" grant as a primary driver of revenue variance.
After presentations, the board approved prior meeting minutes (01/12/2026 and 01/19/2026) and moved through education, policy, finance, personnel, facilities, and athletics agenda items. Finance item 6 (IU-related) required a roll-call vote that recorded nine yes votes; the chair noted an abstention on finance item 11. Personnel items 1-5 (handled in executive session) passed, and facilities and athletics items were approved by voice vote. The meeting adjourned after the final motions.
The 3-3-9 plan will be available for review and returned to the board for a vote next month; no final action on the plan was taken at this meeting.
