The Adams Central Community Schools board handled a broad slate of routine business at its March meeting, approving finance items, contracts, donations, student travel and personnel actions.
Finance: The board approved payment vouchers and fund reports as presented and adopted a first‑reading draft of the 2025 budget calendar; staff noted the calendar is unchanged from prior drafts and that dates tied to a potential September board visitation day and public hearing time remain tentative.
Contracts and procurement: The board renewed participation in the Food to School purchasing cooperative for the 2024–25 school year, committing to source roughly 90% of processed USDA purchases such as milk and baked goods through the cooperative. The board also approved a letter of intent naming Old National Wealth Management as trustee for first‑mortgage bonds related to district projects.
Donations and safety: The district accepted donations of six AED units and indoor cabinets from Adams Memorial and three outdoor AED cabinets plus two AED carts from the Adams County Health Department for the nurses’ clinic. The board accepted donated eclipse glasses from the Adams County Sheriff’s Department and EMA; administrators said staff delivered about 1,700 glasses to the district.
Student trips: The board approved seven overnight and out‑of‑state trips for FFA and other student groups, including events in Hope, Indiana; Liberty and Sandusky, Ohio; Greenwood, Indiana; Fort Recovery, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; and Lafayette, Indiana. Dates were read aloud for each event.
Personnel: The board accepted the resignation of third‑grade teacher Haley Feekter and approved maternity leaves for Kristen Lattman (elementary art) and Cassidy Jackson (middle/high visual arts). The board approved hiring Cassandra Layman, an Adam Central graduate and longtime substitute, as the high‑school assistant track coach and updated the spring coaches roster accordingly.
Votes: Nearly all business items were approved by voice vote with "Aye" responses recorded in the transcript; the minutes show motions, seconds and unanimous voice approval for the listed routine items.
Why it matters: The package of approvals covers day‑to‑day operations (payables, food services), student opportunities (trips, athletics), staff transitions and school health/safety investments. Most actions were procedural and noncontroversial at the meeting.
Next steps: Staff will implement the approved purchases and personnel moves and bring future updates to the board as needed.
