The Southeast Fountain School Corporation board on June 11 approved multiple personnel actions, vendor quotes, donations and policy changes tied to the 2026–27 school year.
The board approved the resignation of Jenny Jordan and the hiring of multiple staff: Megan Wilson as deputy treasurer; Hannah Bersat as a preschool teacher; Jesse Gully as an instructional aid; Lad Warner and Maline Young as instructional assistants; Christopher Chopanov as a social studies teacher at Fountain Central Junior‑Senior High School; and temporary maternity‑leave coverage hires including Sandre Flora, Morgan Woodrow and Becky Larson. The board approved the termination of a non‑certified employee as presented.
On administrator contracts, the board approved converting current two‑year contracts for Josh Davenport, Kelly Morgan, Cameron Baines and Jake Wolf to three‑year contracts and approved the accompanying salary adjustments. A presenter said the change is allowable under Indiana law and is intended to help attract and retain administrators.
The board accepted donations: $500 from New Steel for Fountain Central Mustang football equipment and $4,080 from Shamba and Sun to cover athletic passes for swim families. The board also approved vendor quotes, including for new wrestling room mats, and authorized an overnight girls' basketball trip later this month to a university in Lexington, Kentucky (listed in the transcript as “Transennsylvania University”).
The board directed that distributions received from the financial institutions tax (FIT) and the commercial vehicle excise (CV) tax be allocated to the operations fund for 2026. The presenter stated the district received $5,334 from FIT and an amount transcribed as $7,99 from CV; the CV figure in the transcript is unclear and is noted as transcribed.
The board approved an education materials fee of $30 per student for 2026–27 to cover consumable instructional materials not covered by the state; the presenter emphasized families will continue to receive free textbooks and the fee is aimed at items teachers otherwise pay for out of pocket.
All administrative and personnel motions were moved, seconded and approved in the meeting record.
