001Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Good evening everybody. I'm going to call to order the May 12th Tipton Community School Corporation School Board meeting. Uh we're going to start with our Pledge of Allegiance and our Vision Statement. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Our vision statement is growing, empowered, future-ready students who are prepared for a lifetime of opportunity and success. Right. All right. First item on and welcome to everyone here. This is a little daunting. But welcome to everybody that's here this evening. First item on our agenda is if we could get the representatives from Tisso to come forward. We have a check presentation from them in support of the
002playground. Oh, it's I don't know if we can get that in the sponsor. >> Yeah. >> Pat. >> Yeah. >> I just want to thank the the school board and administration for making the playground a part of our party. If you ever have a chance to peruse the playground before um it's demolished, you'll see that there is need for improvement, for sure. And I think kids are excited about some changes and one of the big changes will be a surface that will allow for um perhaps a greater opportunity to play when it's a little bit when it's rained right before recess and things like that. So, it should be um good for the students, but I definitely want to thank all of our uh elementary school families throughout the last several years who donated, who
003bought cookie dough, who purchased uh pork burgers and all those things that support our fundraisers. This is what it These are the types of projects it goes to help. So, please know it's going back to the students directly and um I also want to thank the staff who helps promote our fundraisers and all that. So, thank you for everyone being a part of it. >> Very good. >> Thank you guys so much. >> Thank you. >> We have all these places where we have to stage our photographs here. Apologies. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. All right. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you guys so much. >> Thank Andrea. >> Uh next item on our agenda is uh called tell me something good. It's an opportunity for us on the board uh to express something we've
004seen uh in the school academically or athletically, etc. Uh that caught our attention in the last 30 days since we met. So, I open up the floor for uh tell me something good. >> Uh I had uh the opportunity to attend the top 10 banquet with our son Isaac and um of course the the students are impressive, but what stood out to me the most was or I should say were the teachers, the educators who have influenced our kids. Just the comments that they would make, the um sacrifices that our teachers make. Um all of the just the whole evening was was wonderful, but it just showed me again why we should be so proud of our school, so proud of the people who serve our kids every day because they're making a difference and
005in different ways. Every student requires um sometimes a different personality or a different approach and I was just thankful to um see that reflected in the evening. >> Perfect. Awesome. >> I'll echo um what Jen said on the top 10 banquet. I didn't personally attend, but I did see the behind-the-scenes um and the work that goes into organizing it and Mrs. Casterson uh specifically and how she um runs a very well-oiled machine. >> She does. >> Very good. Yeah, mine for the for the month is uh Tammy who's not here this evening, but she and I were uh uh able to go to the FFA awards banquet at the um at the fairgrounds and I've done this every year I've been on the board and it never ceases to amaze me. That program, those kids,
006um personal invitations, greeted at the door, um got home 2 days later in the mail was a handwritten thank you from them. It was just amazing to watch from the middle school to the high school the the progression of those kids and the things that they're doing and and it's embarrassing at that age what I was doing versus those kids but it was fantastic. We should be extremely proud of our and we are of our FFA program and the and the leaders that put that in place um and much like the playground in Tipton there's a lot of fingerprints on that FFA program, right? Um and so if you're ever out by the greenhouse and you get a chance to kind of look at all the donors and the people that have made that possible.
007Tammy and I had a great time sitting there watching some of the fruits of that labor. So it was just fantastic. All right. Next item on our agenda is the Blue Future Awards and with that I believe elementary school is up first. >> Um Tipton Elementary would like to recognize two very bright mathematicians. So if Daily Campbell and Hazel Parr would please come here. So these very very bright individuals are in Mrs. Rich's class and they have scored in the top 2% in math on the I learn checkpoints and so they are in the top 2% in the whole state. And so they are considered a national math star and so we wanted to recognize them because we are so impressed with how hard they work every day and how smart they are in math.
008So this is for you, too. And this You're going to vary bright future ahead of you. So, give them a round of applause. >> Congratulations, guys. All right. >> We are staging that photograph for your social media Um I believe John are you >> JR. Okay. JR is up. >> Hi, I'm JR Dover for those who don't know me and I am the coordinator for the multilingual program for our students who are second language students here in Tipton uh community school corporation. And I wanted to take this opportunity to point out a very specific student. We do a annual assessment of our students for their academic English language proficiency. We have one student at the elementary school. Her name is Karina Morales and she is a uh young lady who makes learning and succeeding very
009important to her. And so, she's gotten very close to exiting out of this program the last couple years. And uh this year she finally got over the top and she made it out and uh she had the highest score in the entire school district of all of our second language students and she's a fourth grader um in Mrs. Martin's class. But, I just wanted to make sure that we pointed out and recognized what a hard worker she is and and how successful you can be when you stick to something and point out with it. And we brought Mrs. Spears here, too, because Mrs. Spears has been working with Karina since she was a kindergartner. So, uh she's kind of witnessed all of this hard work. So, Karina, you want to come on up? >> Now,
010Mr. Rick. >> Now for me. Okay, so I've got a boatload of blue futures to give out two the athletic side and then one on the academic side for us. Colin Quinn, athletic director up at high school, was going to be doing the wrestling one first, but he was unable to be here tonight, so he asked me to do it, which I was more than happy to because I was one who got to deliver the record-breaking information to these kids and make sure those got hung up. Thank you again, by the way, Mr. Rick for helping us make sure that happened. So, our blue future today is for any students and of course Coach Nichols on our team's wrestling team. So, if you were part of our wrestling team, come on up and join me
011for a moment, okay? If you were part of that team, come on up, okay? And it looks like Obi maybe wasn't able to make it, but at very least we got a Lane here as part of that. So, we wanted to make sure that we recognize our TMS wrestling team. Of course, their season ended back in gosh, what was it? March, late March or so. And so, but even so, as we kind of were finalizing that season, both me and Mr. Quinn really recognized that there was a lot of power in this program. I'll read what Mr. Quinn had said. I would like to recognize the Tipton Middle School wrestling program for their outstanding year this past season. They placed third in the MIC, putting nine wrestlers in the championship match, excuse me, eight in
012the third and fourth place match, and all the while they had one of the smallest teams of our conference and gave up, in fact, two weight classes. Uh two wrestlers, and uh we've got one of them here, Mr. Lane Emberton uh at 106 lb, and another one, Mr. Obi Moats at 70 lb, both broke records this season. Uh for Lane, he went 17-3 uh in his weight class, and Obi went undefeated with 12-0 in his weight class. So, not even at the middle school yet, he's still down at the elementary, just imagine he's got even more time to be able to break even more records, right? Um so, we want to go ahead and also make sure that we give a huge round of applause to Coach Nichols. Uh this is Uh he truly did
013a phenomenal job this season wrangling all of these wrestlers, ensuring that he was uh empowering all of them. Um you know, I said it back in whenever it was that I was here for the swimming, just to be, you know, with this team when they're competing together, it's just it was very exciting. You could just feel a different kind of energy and a different kind of vibe in the air. I look forward to seeing that energy back on the wrestling team in the coming years, right? So, a big round of applause for Let's go ahead and let's get a picture, guys, if we could. Let's get a picture. Although, maybe just given the quantity of people on the team this year, I think what how about maybe we can get a picture back there, and
014I'll be So, I'm going to make sure that >> Yeah. >> I don't know. >> Well, don't worry, we'll >> I got it. >> Okay. Um and now, let's go ahead and move on to golf. If you are a member of our golf team or coaching, of course, our golf team, okay? Come on up. This one uh probably the quickest turnaround that I've had uh in a MIC win followed by a Blue Future Award. It was just uh not this Saturday, but Saturday before, right? Um and we've got all No, we got four out out the five, but Nyler, thank you for being here. Uh so, this team uh altogether, I invited the whole team, um but specifically five golfers are ones who I want to go ahead and reference today. Um another sport that's
015just had a really, really positive vibe, really, really positive energy. Um the uh the roster of kids on our golf team has, I think, doubled from last year. I mean, we just have a lot of energy in terms of people who are golfing. Um I actually was out on the links yesterday watching their match against uh Sheridan, and just the level that this team is supporting each other, just a really positive group. Of course, there are fruits of that labor, and the fruits that come from that labor is their MIC win. And specifically here, we've got these four gentlemen closest to me who uh shot in that match. Uh we had Merrill Smith, Easton Glasburn, and Camden Leach who all participated uh and and shot contributing to that team score. Uh Jace Conway is the
016eighth grader who is not here this evening. He tied for a third-place finish. And this guy right here, I get to see him next year as well because he got first place uh with uh shooting 39, uh which was very, very impressive. Um I also want to make sure that while I'm up here, that I go ahead and celebrate these two gentlemen. Uh you know, it's it's rare to have at the middle school level coaches who bring the kind of energy that these two guys bring. It's even rarer to find it in their first year doing it, right? Okay? But this is their first year, and I swear just the level that you guys have of of connection with these kids, of supporting these kids, it's been a seamless transition into new year with new
017coaches, and I'm very, very grateful for you guys. Um Coach Pierce didn't necessarily come up either, but you're an assistant coach kind of helping out, right? They're volunteer, there we go. But just the energy around it, you know, the the fact that we're all supporting these kids, it's really incredible to see. So, looking forward to seeing what comes in the future years. So, a big round of applause, please, everyone. words that I'm going to go ahead and try this if you guys want to go back there, okay? Okay, and then my academic one to finish out the night, and unfortunately, she couldn't be here because of course she's at softball right now. Okay, I'm supporting our softball girls up at the high school. Uh but Miss Cara Conger, who is in her second year as
018the guidance counselor at Tipton Middle School, uh is receiving a Blue Future Award uh tonight. Uh kind of not really from me, but actually from uh the organization 4C, which is an organization that we partner with at the school to provide mental health services for our students. Uh she recently was named by 4C uh as a recipient of their Behavioral Health Champion Award. Um which just I love it. Just sounds impressive, doesn't it? Uh but it really is. Um uh I'll just actually read from the letter that they sent along. Uh they said uh that this award is for someone who shows outstanding dedication, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to supporting students' mental health. Uh they continued on in that letter to say, "Her ability to bring people together in support of students exemplifies true leadership
019and compassion." Um of course, I get a front row seat to that every single day working in the same office and being able to support her as she works with kids, and I can say very much that is true day in day out. She is supporting students during obviously what we all know the middle school years, a very crucial developmental time for kids. So, the fact that they have an advocate like that in her is phenomenal. If I could for a brief second, in case you were not aware, Miss Conger is the first person I ever had the uh joy of having as a student that I then hired as someone working at my school. Um and so, uh not only obviously looking back all those years ago and thinking of the the uh person
020that she's grown into and the colleague that she now is, uh it's just really incredible to see that she is making a difference for kids every single day. So, I'll make sure that this gets through tomorrow, but a big round of applause for Miss Conger. All right. So, for the uh high school Blue feature award uh I'll go ahead and call the the bass club members up our fishing club guys up. As they're walking up I'll go ahead and kind of talk about what we're going to recognize them for. This was a bit of a surprise a recognition. I got a text message that just said state champs and it was like pretty awesome thing. I was asked for pictures but it was it was just state champs cuz Mr. White's phone was dying. But
021these are members of our our bass club. So on May 2nd at Lake Patoka we sent three teams over and first to highlight kind of what the the club sponsors have to do and Kinkle who had ran our chapter of the bass anglers since its inception at Tipton High School. We've had a state championship in the past and then in the building we have Mr. Case and Mr. White that kind of do a lot of logistic stuff. So it's not as easy as just saying hey boys show up at Lake Patoka and we go fishing and then you know that's how it goes. They got to organize captains. They got to do all the lodging and getting everything organized. So I wanted to recognize them for the work that they do behind the scenes and
022then obviously their their knowledge that they're passing on to these guys. This is another one of those clubs and opportunities that that kids can do that's a little bit different. You know it's it's not your your standard sport or or things like that but it's an avenue to go out and be successful and then represent your school while you're doing it. So as I was saying on May 2nd we sent three teams down to to Lake Patoka for the state championship and Micah White and Grayson Parker. Now Micah is from the school down south that wears orange but because they don't have a bass club he's eligible and we obviously welcome him at the Tipton club. But at that tournament they finished with a five fish total of 18 lb 10 oz for the tournament.
023And in talking to to Hank, it sounds like they they they had to work through like they caught How many fish? Well, how many how many total fish on the day? 10 keepers throughout the day which 15-in bass is a keeper but they didn't have to go through and call through their tank and and get the biggest one. So, they didn't just catch five fish. They caught a bunch of fish and were super successful on Lake Patoka to take home the state championship. They also missed biggest fish by 1 oz. So, I know. Should have fed it maybe before we And then of that I want to also highlight that there was 53 total teams in this tournament. So, this wasn't like a you know, 10 team thing where we just it was a big
024a big event down at Lake Patoka. Total of 131 total fish that were caught. And now because these guys have won that, they qualified for nationals which we're asking the school board to approve an overnight trip in June for them to go to Lake Cumberland, Kentucky the 24th through the 27th. They'll go a couple days early to scout out the lake and do what fishers do and get prepared for that. So, wanted to take a second to highlight these guys and and the success that they've had. Again, Hank Hinkle. And they're also fishing in the world finals. Cool. Or right? Mr. White. Mr. Case. So, let's go ahead and give them a round OF APPLAUSE. WE HAVE ONE EXTRA SPECIAL UH AWARD TONIGHT. As many of you know, uh Dr. Glaze is retiring at the
025end of this school year. Um and I thought it was a appropriate time to recognize all the work that he has done. So, tonight it's my privilege to recognize Dr. Ryan Glaze with the Blue Future Award for his outstanding service as superintendent for Tipton Community School Corporation. Uh since 2020, Dr. Glaze has led TCSC with vision, steadfastness, and deep commitment to students, staff, and the community. His impacts can be seen across the district from uh major facility improvements, classroom upgrades, and renovations to the Inferno and middle school gyms, uh improvements to the athletic spaces, and the addition of the Total Seed Production Greenhouse. Academically, uh Dr. Glaze has kept students outcomes at the center of his work. Uh under his leadership, TCSC achieved a 100% high school graduation rate, strengthened professional learning communities, advanced K-12
026curriculum alignment, uh and expanded early learning through uh pre-K, and continue to see strong results in I Read 3 and I Learn. Most importantly, though, um Dr. Glaze has led with integrity, empathy, and genuine commitment to people. He's helped make Tipton Community Schools stronger and positioned the district well for our future. On behalf of TCSC, thank you, Dr. Glaze, for your leadership, your service, and your lasting impact on our students, staff, and community. Congratulations on receiving I make it look really easy, uh but apparently uh it's very easy, so we will get a picture. >> Let's get a picture with him. >> All right, and we do have a gift for you, though, as well. >> Close your eyes. Like you're It's Christmas. Now, this could be mine. This is not the finished product, but
027we want to show you what um Oh, cool. >> We're going to have these framed. >> I love them. >> They're authentic, baby. Yes, real Blue Devil blood, and we're going to get them framed for you. >> Awesome. Well, thank you so much. I love that. Awesome. Well, thank you guys. Thanks a lot. >> All right. And that is the conclusion of our Blue Devil Blue Future Awards. If you were here for the awards, this is the time for you to leave before we descend into protocol and things of that nature. So, anybody's watching the Stanley Cup, this is your out. Enjoy and thank you for coming in support of Blue Future Award winners. Next item on our agenda is our comments from the community. We have Mr. Mark Baird from the Tipton County Foundation
028this evening. >> It's see how good speaker can clear a room. Well, thank you, board. I appreciate the time here this evening. I promise I won't take long at all. I think I have 3 minutes, and hopefully I'll be able to finish in that time frame. I talked to Dr. Glaze a little bit about this report by Dr. Michael Hicks a couple weeks ago, and and we thought it was worthy, or at least I thought it was worthy to bring it to the attention of the board and to the community. I'm just going to read a little bit of the abstract, and then just barely get into the meat of the matter. The paper is is titled a value-added measure of school performance in Indiana. The abstract says the quality of school local schools is
029a critical determinant of regional economic growth, housing values, and household location decisions. And I think we all can agree to that. Yet widely used measures of school quality, such as standardized test scores and graduation rates, are highly correlated with student socioeconomic status, often conflating school performance with demographic characteristics beyond the control of educators. This study develops and applies an adjusted performance measure, or value-added measure, of school corporation quality for Indiana public schools that isolates the contribution of school corporations to student outcomes after accounting for poverty and demographic factors. What it does, it uh uses Indiana Department of Education data from '21 and '22 through the '24 and '25 academic years, and they they uh use a lot of regression models with utilizing ILEARN scores, uh mathematics proficiency rates, and SAT college benchmarks to come up
030with a relative score of every school in the state. And um as as the executive director of the foundation, I wanted to make sure that you all knew that we are here to help you guys try to take the next steps forward in the proficiency of the students here in Tipton County. Um Tipton County does rate the best in in this study by Dr. Hicks. And I would welcome you to to get a copy of the study. It's very widely uh distributed out there uh on Mr. Hicks's website. Uh if anybody is curious as to what the study is, uh I'll be glad to furnish that to you. But as an example, uh the top 10 school corporations by 2025 value added uh based on eighth grade ILEARN combined proficiency shares number one Crawford County
031schools number two school uh town of Speedway Brownsburg Avon, North Spencer Pioneer South Montgomery DeKalb Liberty Perry Community School Corporation and South Gibson You'll note that these are not all large schools and I'll be over here in just a few seconds. Thank you. Uh these run the gamut and what it tries to illustrate is just because you're a small school in a small area doesn't mean you can't have quality education and equality educators in front of you. Again, I just wanted to reiterate that if the foundation is here to help uh whether it be a a small idea or a change a a really a transformational change in idea. We want to partner with you guys to try to make that a change happen. So, thank you for your time. >> Thank you, Mark. >>
032All right, next item on the agenda is our consent agenda for this evening. Uh within that is the approval of the agenda for the evening, uh the approval of the minutes from our work session and regular session on April 14th. Uh we have the approval of claims, our payroll from seventh the April 17th and April 24th, and our payroll of May 8th. And then we have an AP claims run for the month of May of 2026. We will have the approval of the personnel report, which I will read at uh the conclusion of the approval of the consent agenda, and then we have the approval of the field trips um for the bass anglers overnight trip to uh Lake Cumberland. And then we have the acceptance of um the donations that were in the attached
033uh donation report. So, um I I need a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda for this evening. >> I move to approve the consent agenda. >> Second. >> All right, I have a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda.

So, um he is going to talk through a a presentation um for um TCSE. Um just as as we are looking at the next few week or next few months and uh kind of some thoughts about, you know, where we might end up being. >> Thank you, Dr. Glaze. Um good evening again. Uh tonight I want to walk through um four really important topics that are going to be um
037important for our next uh handful of years here. Uh first, the role that TCSE plays in Tipton. Uh how school funding works at a very high level for you all. Uh the financial challenges we're facing and what support is needed to protect our students, staff, and programs. Um, before we get into the finance and property taxes, I want to start with big picture on this. Tipton uh, schools have been a part of this community for nearly 150 years. Uh, they've shaped generations of students, families, teachers, and community members. So, today's conversation isn't just about uh, numbers. It's about the future of a school system that's been woven into the life of Tipton well over a century and a half. It's also about the people who make our schools work every day. Teachers, bus drivers, uh,
038classroom aides, nurses, custodians, counselors, and every adult who supports student learning. As we move through this presentation, I hope we keep one thing in mind, and that's decisions about our schools affect students, affect families, staff, and the overall strength of our community. Um, our schools mean more to Tipton just the academics. Uh, our schools' our main responsibility is to educate students, uh, but our schools are also places where people gather, where traditions continue, and where relationships built across generations. You can see that in our athletic events, concerts, performances, graduations, youth programs, and community partnerships like the Tipton Community Theater. Our schools also support the local workforce. The students that we educate today become the employees, business owners, volunteers, and leaders that will shape Tipton's future. That's why strong schools and a strong community go hand
039in hand. When one is healthy, it supports the other. That school community connection is reflected in what we call the Tipton Way. For us, it's not just a slogan. It describes the expectations and values that guide our work every day. Being professional, being present, putting students first, and helping every student grow. You see it in the classrooms, the hallways, extracurriculars, and the way our staff supports students beyond the school day. One of the clearest examples of our students' success is Tipton High School's 100% graduation rate. That's something we should all be proud of. But that rate is more than just a number. It means students are being supported through the finish line, whether they're headed to college, the workforce, military service, or another path. That doesn't happen by accident. It reflects a strong support system
040of family, staff, and steps in when students need support. Our goal isn't just graduation, it's preparation for whatever comes next. Early reading is another one of the areas we're especially proud of. Last year, 93% of our third graders passed I-Read, well above the state average of 87.3%. This year, we're on track to surpass that high mark. Those are strong results, especially because many of our students need extra support at different points in their learning. But it's important to remember the reason we see those results. It's because of the support systems we have in place for our students. It starts with preschool, early literacy programs, and identifying students as soon as possible. From there, students receive support from classroom teachers, our reading specialists, Title 1 staff, classroom aides, and our entire intervention team. We also monitor
041progress and respond to data rather than waiting for students to fall far behind. So, this isn't just one program or one good year. It's a system built around students, and it depends on teachers and support staff working together. The success we see in early reading continues as students move through the district. Here you can see how Tipton compares to the state average in evidence-based reading and writing, and in math on the SAT. In each area, our students are performing above the state average. SAT performance is just one measure of whether students are leaving high school with the academic skills necessary for college, training programs, and other post-secondary opportunities. Our students are not just doing well early, they continue to perform above state expectations as they move toward graduation. Something we're especially proud of at Tipton
042is the Waers community always steps up to help students take their first steps after high school. For students pursuing college, dual credits are a major advantage. Through our partnerships with IU Kokomo and Ivy Tech, students can earn real college credits before they even graduate. Over the past several years, that's saved Tipton families more than 1.2 million dollars in tuition costs. And that support continues through local scholarship opportunities. Last year alone, our graduating seniors received roughly $750,000 from community organizations, alumni, and families. So, for many students, Tipton is helping make college more accessible, more affordable, and more realistic. At the same time, we know that not every student's future looks the same. That's why we've continued to build pathways that connect students to careers, technical training, and hands-on learning. Students have opportunities to explore automotive and
043skilled trades, earn healthcare certifications like medical assistant, pharmacy tech, and veterinary tech, and participate in outstanding uh agriculture pathways that connect directly to our local community. And I want to put uh our agriculture program up against anyone in Indiana. Uh it's a true strength of TCSC and a great example of how our schools connect students to the community, economy, and future of this community. All of our programs are valuable because they give students options. They help students discover their interests, build useful skills, and see a clearer path toward employment, training, or continued education after graduation. The goal isn't to just push every student toward the same destination. The goal is to make sure that every student leaves the school with their own plan for the future. What makes those opportunities especially valuable is that they
044connect students to the real world. Through internships, work-based learning, and local partnerships, students are able to apply what they are learning in actual career settings. Many students can also graduate from high school with more than a diploma. They earn They can earn industry-recognized certifications, credentials, workplace experience, and professional connections that give them a head start after graduation. These programs help connect our schools with local businesses, healthcare providers, agriculture, skilled trades, and other workforce needs right here in Tipton. The Tipton Achievement Academy is another example of how we provide a different path for students who need more flexibility. But, the bigger point here is that we're trying to meet students where they are and connect them to meaningful next steps. So, when we talk about preparing students, we're not just talking about coursework. We're talking about
045helping students leave Tipton with useful skills, credentials, experience, and a real connection to their future. The arts are also a big part of who we are as a district and community. Uh our music and theater programs give students opportunities perform, create, collaborate, and build confidence in ways that are different from the traditional classroom. They also bring people into our schools. Concerts, performances, and productions connect students, families, staff, alumni, and our community members, and often draw people from the surrounding area. Our schools aren't just places of instruction. They're community spaces where people gather and celebrate student talent. So, when we talk about student opportunities, the arts are a critical piece of providing a complete and well-rounded Tipton experience. Finally, athletics are one of the clearest examples of how our schools are connected to the community. On
046Friday night, it's not just a football game. It's families, students, staff, alumni, and community members coming together around a shared tradition. That pride carries across all of our programs. Two great examples are girls basketball team and their recent run to the state finals, and the boys basketball team's four consecutive years of sectional champions. Those weren't just team accomplishments. They were something the entire community rallied around. Whether it's under the lights on a cool autumn evening, in a packed and rowdy gym, or at any other athletic event, these moments connect generations and give people a reason to come back and support our students. Most importantly, athletics give our students the chance to learn discipline, teamwork, leadership, resilience, and what it means to represent something bigger than themselves. Now that we've established how important our schools are
047to our community, let's shift gears to the foundation that makes all of that possible, school funding. Simple way to think about school budget is like a delivery truck. The truck brings in funding our schools need to operate, but that funding is not just one big barrel. In Indiana school finance, the budget is divided into two separate distinct funds, each with their own purpose and their own rules. Those two major funds are the education fund and the operations fund. Again, the education fund is mostly directly tied to uh student instruction. It supports teachers, classroom aides, instructional materials, and daily work happening within classrooms for students. The operations fund supports the essential services that make school possible, things like transportation, utilities, building maintenance, property insurance, custodial services, and other expenses that keep our district running safely and
048effectively. Both funds matter, but they serve different purposes. Let's start with our biggest funding source, the state basic grant. This is the main funding we receive from the state, and it's based largely on student enrollment. In simple terms, it's the money that follows students to the school district they attend. At TCSE, we put 93% of our funding into the education fund, which supports classroom instruction, teachers, aides, and student learning. By law, school districts can transfer up to 15% of those dollars into the education fund if needed. Last year, we transferred only 7% because we have worked hard to keep education dollars focused on the classroom. But as our operations fund is reduced, uh we may be forced to transfer more education dollars into the operations fund. That will impact learning because every dollar moved to
049the operations is a dollar no longer available to directly support classroom instruction and student learning. The other major fund, like I said, is the operations fund, which is funded through a local property taxes. Uh this fund for the basics uh this fund pays for the basic services that keep schools running. Transportation, utilities, building maintenance, custodial services, insurance, and safety-related needs. These expenses may not always be obvious to the classroom, but they directly affect students every single day. Students need safe buildings, reliable buses, heating, cooling, lights, technology, and clean facilities. So, even though operations fund is separate from the classroom instruction, it's still essential to the student experience. Another fund that we need to explain real quickly is the debt service fund. Think of the debt service fund like your mortgage payment. When the district needs
050to update aging facilities, we often have to borrow money and pay that debt back over time. That's what debt service is for. It can only be used to repay bonds and debt from past facility projects. The key point is that debt service dollars are separate from the education fund and operations fund. They can't be used for salaries, supplies, transportation, or daily operations. We understand taxpayers see all this on one single bill, but legally those dollars are restricted to different purposes. Finally, uh the last fund that we uh you might be hearing about in the news recently is the referendum fund. Uh something that TCS has never had. Uh the referendum fund is a voter-approved local funding for a specific period of time and for specific purposes. Referendums are becoming more common across Indiana because schools
051continue school costs continue to rise while state and local funding have not kept pace. For Tipton and operating referendum, we focus on maintaining stability. That's protecting programs, uh keeping class sizes reasonable, supporting transportation and student services, and retaining staff who serve our students every day. This slide gives some perspective on state support per student across Indiana. Uh the chart includes 376, every one of those dots, traditional public schools, charter schools, and virtual schools. The state average uh basic grant is $7,734 per student. Tipton receives $7,475 per student, which is $259 below the state average. This may not sound like much at first, but with our current enrollment of about 1,300 students, that equals roughly $345,000 less per year than we would receive if Tipton were funded at the state average. That gap repeats year after
052year after year. Uh the point isn't that every school should receive the same amount. The state's basic grant formula accounts for different student and community needs, but the reality is that Tipton is operating with fewer student funding that is below the state average, while still providing high-quality academic student supports and opportunities for students. One final point about this uh slide, it's uh important that you know every highlighted school on the chart except for Tipton already has an operating referendum. Across Indiana, more than one in five school districts have turned to operating referendums to help bridge funding gaps like this, with many more expected to consider them this year alone. We are now facing the same kind of decision. In 2009, uh Tipton received just over $5,000 per student, and like I said before, uh by
0532026, that number's increased to almost 7,500. So, if state tuition support has gone up, why is funding still a challenge? The key question is, has the state funding kept pace with the real cost of operating schools? Again, between 2009 and 2026, Tipton's per student funding increased by about 41%. Inflation during that time increased 56%. If state funding had simply kept up with the rate of inflation, typically we'd be receiving over $8,300 per student in 2026 instead of the $7,500. That's a difference of more than $800 per student. And with our current enrollment, that equates to $1.15 million less this year alone than we would have received in our basic grant funding had simply uh kept pace with inflation. So, the takeaway is this, while state funding has increased, that's true, the buying power of those
054dollars has not kept up with the real cost of staffing, utilities, insurance, and other resources. That's one of the major reasons districts like ours feel financial pressure, even when the funding appears to be going up. Before I get too far into this, uh I want to show quickly how Senate Enrolled Act 1, which you may have been hearing about in the news, changes the tax base and the supports for our operations fund. Let's use a home gross assessed value of $200,000. That home was not taxed on the full $200,000. Uh after the homeowner deductions were applied, the taxable amount or net assessed value was just $95,000. That taxable value is what the school operations rate is applied to. For this example, that $200,000 home generates about $430 for our operations fund. That's our starting point.
055It gives us the before picture so that we can understand how SEA 1 changes the amount of revenue available to support school operations. And just a real quick note, this is uh an oversimplified version. This is to help you guys understand uh what the impact of SEA 1 is. Everybody's bill is going to look a little different. Everybody's got a few different uh tax credits or different deductions available to them. This is going to keep this at a high level. When we look at the changes from '25 to '26, in this example, we're keeping the home value the same at $200,000. So again, we can focus on the impact of SEA 1. In real life, home values are going up and down. We understand that. Uh actual tax bills are going to be affected by
056other factors. But in 2025, this home had taxable value of 95,000. In 2026, that same home would have a value of 91,000. That means that same $200,000 home has less taxable value uh available to support school operations. Again, for this uh example, the operations impact drops from 431 to 426 in 2026. Again, uh in a single year, not overly dramatic from just the operations perspective. For the homeowner, that helps lower the school uh operating portion of their tax bill. Uh but, for the school district, it means fewer dollars in the operations fund. That's the trade-off with SCA 1. It lowers the impact for homeowners, but it also reduces what schools can collect. And, this is only the first step because the reductions continue in these future years. For this example, again, we're keeping the operations
057fund rate the same as 2026, so we can again focus on the impact of SCA 1. Yeah, there's a lot of math that goes behind all of this. As SCA 1 phases in, the taxable value of this same $200,000 home continues to drop. It goes from 91,000 in 2026 to down to 66,660 by 2031. Because the taxable value goes down, the amount generated for the operations fund also goes down. In 2026, again, we drop from uh $426 uh per household to 2031, $311. That's about $120 less from this one example property compared to 2025. The point's not that one home determines the district's uh finances. The point is that the same pattern applies across homestead properties throughout our district. So, while SCA 1 lowers the school operating impact for homeowners, it also reduces the revenue
058that we rely on. Again, uh that's the local revenue challenge that we're facing currently. Uh real briefly here, uh deductions are just one part of SCA 1, like I mentioned before. Uh this slide shows two types of losses uh to the school revenue. The yellow bars you see is a circuit breaker. That's your 1% residential tax rate uh or tax cap. When a homeowner reaches that cap, the school district does not collect and the full amount uh of the taxes. Uh we are limited by that cap. The blue bars show the new unfunded credits under SCA 1. Again, homeowners are receiving a 10% uh discount credit, I should say, off the final tax bill up to $300. But schools again do not receive any replacement funding for those lost dollars. So again, SCA 1 affects
059school revenue in two ways. It lowers the taxable value value through deductions and it lowers the final tax bill through those credits. Again, savings for taxpayers, a loss of revenue for schools. With the impact of declining enrollment and SCA 1 included, this projection shows our cash balance dropping below zero by 20 by 2028. Uh this is the core issue. We're losing revenue from two directions. Declining enrollment reduces the state funding we receive and SCA 1 reduces the property tax revenue available to support our operations fund. If nothing changes, these numbers can't work. We legally cannot end the year with a negative cash balance. So we have to respond. That means reducing spending, increasing revenue, or some combination of both. And reducing spending at this point means reducing people, programs, services, and uh opportunities. It's not
060just a one-year budget problem either. Uh as you can see clearly, uh it's a structural financial challenge caused by declining enrollment and accelerated by SCA 1. That's why we have to plan now. Uh we've already been reducing expenses for years, especially in response to our declining enrollment. Um Um, since 2020, including reductions made so far this spring, the district has reduced 42 positions. That includes 11 fewer teachers and 25% reduction in administration. That matters because it shows we have not avoided difficult decisions. We've reduced costs through attrition when possible, reorganized responsibilities, combined roles, and work to operate as efficiently as we can. But, reductions of this size have consequences. When a school district reduces staff, it eventually affects class sizes, course offerings, student support, supervision, transportation, building maintenance, and the overall experience families have come
061to expect from our schools. So, the question isn't whether we can reduce expenses. We're already doing that. The real question is how much more we can reduce before the school system begins to change in ways our community may not want. For next school year, we're already planning over $900,000 in reductions. These reductions affect every level of the district, administration, elementary, middle school, high school. In total, they include nine teachers and 10 and a half full-time staff positions. That includes classroom teachers, paraeducators, core academic areas like math and English, and career and elective programs such as agriculture and music. I want to be clear, these are not reductions that we're celebrating. We believe they are necessary under the current financial conditions, but every reduction comes with a cost to our students and our staff. And even
062after nearly a million dollars in reductions, the long-term financial projection still shows a significant challenge for us. That's why we have to look seriously at our limited additional revenue sources, which include an operating referendum. Without additional revenue, reductions will continue and become more visible for our students, staff, and community. I'm not going to read the slide to you, but uh it does show example language, again example language for a possible November 2026 operating referendum. The most important point is that this would be an operating referendum, not a construction referendum. Uh I know that kind of pops up in the news from time to time. It's not about building any new facilities. It's about supporting the day-to-day needs of our district. The purpose would be to maintain stability, like I said before. Retain teachers and staff,
063protecting class size and programs, supporting student safety and transportation, and continuing the services that students and families rely on. This example proposal would be for no more than 8 years with a maximum rate of 25 cents and a maximum annual amount of $2 million. The word maximum does a lot of heavy lifting here. Uh the district would not be able to collect more than what the voters approved. So, for a $200,000 home, the estimated impact would be roughly $216 per year or less than $20 per month. We know any any tax increase matters. That's why we want to be clear about both sides, what this would cost taxpayers, and what continued reductions would mean for our schools. This isn't about adding extras. It's about maintaining the core functions of TCSC and protecting the quality our
064community expects from us. So, again, a quick peek at the math here. Uh like I said, on an estimated monthly impact of 25-cent operating referendum to a gross assessed value home of $200,000, um using 2027 SA1 calculation when this would apply, uh the net assessed value would be just $86,400. Again, down from $95,000. A 25-cent referendum rate means 25 cents per $100 of net assessed value, and this example that equates to $216 per year or just $18 per month. This table expands uh the example of the same 2027 uh calculation across a few different uh residential property values. The important number to focus on here is the monthly impact uh of the maximum 25-cent operating referendum rate. Um it's also important to remember that this is just the estimated impact at the maximum rate. The
065district could not collect more than the rate approved by voters, and the board could lower the rate at any given year based on the district's operational needs. And because SCA 1 continues to reduce the net assessed value over the next several years, the impact of that 25-cent rate on homestead property would also continue to decrease over time. Again, the main point is that we want the community to understand the potential monthly impact as clearly as possible. And any increase matters, um, but again, it helps a potential proposal into a real household budget in terms. So, in conclusion here, uh, I just want to close by saying, uh, where we started, Tipton is a community rooted in our tradition. Our schools have been a part of the tradition for generations. This conversation is about the kind
066of school district we want to maintain for our community. We're proud of the outcomes our students are achieving. And we're proud of the programs, opportunities, and traditions that make TCSC such an important part of this community. But those things require stable funding, responsible planning, and community understanding. Tonight is a part of that process. Uh, we want our community to have clear information, ask good questions, and understand the choices in front of us. So, again, thank you all for your time. I appreciate it. Thank you for caring for our schools, and thank you for being part of the conversation. >> Thank you, Scott. Um, next on our agenda is the department reports that were included in your packet. We have, uh, Mr. Dworski's, uh, uh, report, Adams' report from food services, uh, Stevens' report from the
067technology, um, group, and then Collins' update from the athletic department. I didn't know everybody's had a chance to review that. Were there any questions or public comment on on the department reports? All right. Hearing none, I'll move on to um, our financial report. And are you doing that? >> Uh, it's me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Brooke is on vacation, so. Yeah, so quickly their financial report. Our cash balances as of April 30th in the education fund are 875 982. Operations fund 133 254 thousand. Debt service 532 748 thousand. And then rainy day 2 million 35 thousand 833. Interest income for this last month was around 16 thousand dollars. We did receive our fit distribution of around 26 thousand dollars all deposited into our operations fund which is currently required. We have requested an advance
068in our spring tax settlement which is expected to be received sometime by the end of this month with full settlement in mid-June. Federal Medicaid receipts continue to come in, so that is 3498 dollars in April for a balance of around since we started this whole process. So once again, that is another way where we're trying to retain some revenue. That's pretty much it. Any questions on the financial report? >> As of on the heels of Scott's detailed presentation, the rainy day fund that can't be spent for operations or educational, can't it? Just >> It can be spent for anything. >> Mhm. But it's only one-time dollars. There's no >> reason >> No way to replenish. >> Yeah. I just um >> Sure. That question's going to come up. >> Absolutely, it is. Certainly. And I
069would say that um you know people will will talk about the cash balance, but again, do you have a savings account? I mean, that's really what it is for us. >> cash balance to you. >> Yeah, you know, and >> three pay months and look out. >> Right, exactly. And uh a three pay month and um you know, or we have a delayed payment for taxes or or whatever, that's why we have our cash. >> That's That's going to be a real thing in July. Um fortunately, we're getting a a draw here soon, but um we have a three pay month in July. We also have our uh first retirement early incentive retirement incentive payments coming out in July. It's uh that's going to be a a tough month for us. >> And then Ryan,
070the um Medicaid >> Mhm. >> that money is growing in this account, and then what is that money >> Primarily, what we're doing is we're using that to offset our costs now for KASIK. Um each corporation now we we used to be able to find KASIK with just the federal grant. Um but now each individual corporation has to put a per pupil dollar toward the running of our co-op. So, that's really to offset those uh expenses from KASIK. >> the we used to get a federal grant for KASIK, and then new administration >> what you're talking about. I wasn't I didn't put the two together. >> Yeah, okay. Perfect, yeah. >> All right. Any other questions? All right. Moving on to old business. Um I'm going to try my best to read all this again,
071and uh this is not the abridged version. So, I apologize for those in the audience and watching online. Uh the first item we have is for approval of updated transportation fees. Uh in January of this year, we approved participation fees to cover transportation costs for curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities. At that time, we recommended a fixed cost for students and families participating in co-curricular and extracurricular activities. After discussions with building level ECA treasurers, athletics, and the activity leaders, it was decided that a per event cost would be a more equitable approach to offset the corporation's transportation expenses. We are recommending a $5 fee per event charge um for off-TCSC campus activities. Details are described in the uh PDF that's in your packet, and these updated fees would go into effect July 1st, 2026, as previously
072planned. Need a motion and a second to approve that and open up uh um board conversation. >> I move to approve the updated transportation fees. >> Second. >> All right. I have a motion and a second to approve the updated transportation fees. Is there any um questions or comments from the board uh associated with this? >> Are we collecting that money? >> Yeah. >> That is basically it'll be collected through the different athletic events. So, um if you're the football coach, >> You know you have so many away games and you Okay. We're not going to stand at the bus and if you don't have $5, you can't go play. >> If we want all the dollars collected in advance, >> Yeah. I figured. >> Yeah. So, for for football, typically um we're going to
073have to I think we'll have four away games for sure. Um and so we're doing $20. >> I don't want to run into a uh lunch program issue. >> No. >> Yeah. >> And and you know, the other side of the two is uh we know that our booster organizations are going to have to assist in paying some of those transportation >> The boosters are good. >> Question. Um just thinking about football, you it. I know that some like freshman JV play separate games, they have their own away, but then they're required to go on the Friday nights with the varsity, but they don't play, but they're still required to pay to go. >> Um, that is a really good question. Um, that's not >> We're we're working with Colin on exactly how to split
074this up because again, we recognize that, you know, we have JV players who can play on both and I don't think our intention is to double dip on on those players. So, um, that's going to be all communicated at the start of the season for everybody. Um, and like Dr. Glaze said, we plan to work with the Tips Athletic Foundation and the boosters to see if that can be similar to how like with academics, um, a lot of times like I think it was really popular recently was the fourth grade or fifth grade had the uh >> Yes. >> the Pizza King and that covered all their costs for transportation there. So, um, not that I'm saying everybody needs to go to Pizza King for a >> Although it is very good pizza, we will
075say that it is good pizza. >> But, yeah, no, that's we we will have that communicated before the season begins for every single sport. >> And we'll take that in consideration, um, as as we're assessing those fees. Sure. That's a great question, though. >> I've expressed this opinion previously, but I still think some of the smaller groups should have the option to opt out as a whole. Whatever that looks like from a um, liability standpoint, I think that some of the smaller groups should have that option. >> I would just say that I think that that would be a concern, um, if we are um, if we're expecting kids to be there and it's our scheduled event, that does add some legal issues, um, if we would And again, we've had that conversation. >> Sure.
076And I certainly I appreciate that. >> It's also it's also an equity issue, too. Um, there are families who can afford to do that and there's families who can't afford to do that and then And families are then burdened with the transportation fees as well. So, um I I I totally understand where you're coming from with that though. I I I do appreciate it, but uh my recommendation would be that we we don't open up that that door. >> Thank you for those questions and comments. Anything additional on this? All right, we have a motion and a second to approve the updated transportation fees. Um all those in favor of approval, please signify by saying I. >> I. >> Any opposed? All right, motion there carries. On to new business. We have the declaration of
077some surplus equipment. If anybody's interested in a school bus, uh in your packet are items that are >> big dent in it, so >> It's got a pretty big dent, but uh if you're wanting to build a camper, this is your opportunity. Uh bus 31 is considered a total loss due to an accident in early March. Um there are some items from the the pool and the the renovation and the donations that have occurred there. And we have some outdated equipment from the technology education classroom. Um when possible, these items will be recycled or sold for scrap, uh but I do need a motion and a second to declare this uh surplus equipment and allow for disposal. >> I move to approve the declaration of surplus equipment. >> All right, I have a motion and
078a second for the declaration of the surplus equipment. Um any questions or comments from the board on this? Anybody want a school bus? No? Okay. All those in favor of approving the uh declaration, please signify by saying I. >> I. >> Any opposed? All right, surplus uh equipment is uh approved. Um next we have on our agenda agenda the annual approval of scope and sequence for the elementary, middle, and high school. Uh in accordance with our policy E-100R, the superintendent shall implement administrative guidelines for the a of curricular materials that includes effective consultations with an advisory committee of parents and professional staff members at all appropriate levels. All currently used curricular materials are included with the scope and sequence documents shared with the board on April 21st of this year. The approval of the scope
079and sequence documents shall satisfy the school board's oversight of curricular materials for all TCSC students. It is recommended over the 26 and 27 academic year that all scope and sequence be reviewed, updated, and displayed in a standardized format including all updated Indiana academic standards and content areas. We are requesting approval of these documents as written. Uh there was a link in your packet to the scope and sequence document. So, need a motion and a second to approve scope and sequence for all three buildings. >> I move to approve our scope and sequence for the elementary, middle, and high school. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second to approve scope and sequence for all three buildings. Any questions or comments from the board um on this particular item? Uh hearing none, um all
080those in favor of the approval of the scope and sequence for each building, please signify by saying I. >> I. >> Any opposed? All right, scope is approved and sequence is approved. >> Yeah. >> Both of them. >> That's right. All right, um this one was uh the next item we have is the appointment of an interim superintendent. Uh the lawyers thought this was a good idea, so we're doing it. >> Yep. >> Um and we pay them, so we better listen to them. Um but due to the retirement uh earlier of our superintendent effective May 29th, it's recommended that associate superintendent Scott Jaworski be appointed interim superintendent until July 1st, 2026 when he assumes the role of superintendent. His appointment will ensure continuity of leadership and operations across the district during this transition. I
081need a motion and a second to approve the appointment of an interim superintendent. >> I move to approve the appointment of the interim superintendent of Scott Dorsey. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second to approve the appointment of the interim superintendent Scott Dorsey. Any questions, comments, further concern? Hearing none, I would say all those in favor of approving the appointment of interim superintendent Dorsey, please signify by saying I. >> I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Um So, approve The next item on our agenda is the approval of a resolution allowing the purchase and accountability measures for gift cards. This item is in the news quite a bit and this is our response to that. There's an attached resolution that authorizes the school corporation school board to permit the purchase and use of gift
082cards for students and staff recognition programs. In alignment with the guidance from the Indiana State Board of Accounts, the board formally approves gift cards as an allowable method for recognizing achievements and contribution. The resolution establishes clear expectations for accountability and oversight. Gift card purchases and distribution must be managed by designated personnel and fully documented through a detailed tracking system that includes purchase information, funding sources, recipients, and confirmation of receipt. All transactions much must follow the standard financial procedures including the use of purchase orders, proper approvals, and supporting documentation. Additionally, the resolution grants the superintendent, treasurer, and designated staff the authority to administer and manage these programs, ensuring compliance with state laws and financial regulations. Overall, the resolution ensures that recognition efforts can continue in a structured, transparent, and fiscally responsible manner. It is recommended the
083board approve this resolution as written. >> Good job, Ralph. >> Thank you. >> Sorry. Sorry. >> Um I would entertain a motion and a second to approve a resolution allowing the purchase and accountability measures for gift cards. >> I move to approve the resolution allowing the purchase and accountability measures for gift cards. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second to approve the to approve the purchase and accountability measures for gift cards. Any questions or further concerns? I did appreciate your questions today, Eric. That helped a ton. So, thank you very much for that. Any further questions, concerns? Okay. Hearing none, um all those in favor of approving the resolution allowing the purchase and accountability measures for gift cards, please signify by saying I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Resolution is approved. Um
084and in your packet is first reading tonight for the legislative updates for the 2026 session. Um obviously, these are updates to our CCH A policies from the recently completed 2026 short session at the legislature. Since this is first reading, nothing's required this evening. Um second reading and adoption will be in the June 26 uh monthly meeting. For the interest of the public and full disclosure, the policies that are being updated are firearms, weapons, and destructive devices, uh school wellness policy, responsible use of technology use and internet use policy, the ever exciting wireless communication device policy uh that we have to implement attendance academic engagement and truancy prevention policy medical needs at school policy um a justifiable decrease that's an administrative guideline budget adoption and implementation policies and purchasing procedures and capital assets that needs to
085be revised free and reduced meal plans this is around student privacy if they're in those programs corporation support organizations that policy along with public records and participation of non-public and home school students is another policy that will be updated and available to you or to vote on in our June meeting so I just wanted to make sure that that was on the record for anybody listening to the recording of what the policies actually were any questions on our policies or first reading stuff okay all right we'll sign all those to Tammy since she's not here all right Tammy's on the hook for that any other matters to come before the board this evening we have no advisory meeting scheduled at this time we do have an upcoming schedule of events and I remember vividly now
086why I did not like May after joining the school board cuz it has been crazy it is wild and now I have a senior and that's made it twice as bad but next year it'll be better but we do have now for the last half of the month May 16th is stage and swing in the auditorium May 19th will be the TMS spring band concert also in the auditorium at 7:00 p.m. May 20th will be our high school band concert in the auditorium at 7:00 p.m. May 25th is Memorial Day.
