At its regular meeting the West Noble School Corporation board approved several routine and specific actions:
- Consent agenda: Approved as presented, including a potential overnight field trip for middle school track (contingent on qualification) and recognition of a $4,000 scholarship award that will offset food-service travel costs.
- Personnel agenda: Approved, including authorization to hire a temporary math teacher to finish the school year.
- Pre-approved vendor: Board approved pre-approval for the Northeast Indiana Early Childhood Coalition so the district can pay tri-share billing on the coalition's cycle and avoid late payments.
- Roof repairs: The board authorized staff to proceed with the roof repair bid package for West High School and West Elementary School as part of the 2026 bond project. Initial estimates presented were approximately $915,400, with an additional ~$11,000 in architectural fees; staff said some insulation is reusable and that timing could yield savings. Laura Kina moved the motion; the board voted to approve moving forward with the bid process.
- Special education co-op exit letter: Staff said the district did not have the student or school participation anticipated to exit the special education cooperative in June 2027. The superintendent proposed resending the exit letter and remaining in the cooperative while working to reduce costs and improve services. Joe Sager moved to resend the letter; the motion was seconded and approved.
Where the transcript recorded only a voice vote, no detailed roll-call tally was provided. Staff said they would return with further documentation or contract awards for board review at upcoming meetings.
