We request the board approve the 2026-27 school calendar.  

School Pysch's continue to be difficult to attract. We recommend remaining with Mindful Growth as our contracted provider for 2025-26.  The cost is $148,000 an increase of $4,000 dollars over this year.  Approximately 33% of the contract will be paid by East Gibson to meet their needs.  

American Fidelity offers employees the opportunity to invest their HSA accounts in a variety of mutual funds, potentially earning more over time.  Currently HSA funds are limited to a fixed percentage income through LIberty.  Those who choose to participate can invest dollars above $2,500 into mutual fund options.  Employees will have the option to remain with Liberty our current provider.   New employees will become part of American Fidelity upon hiring.  Employees will have 24/7 access via the AFmobile app.  

We recommend the adoption of K-8 literacy materials from Savas that meet the state required science of reading mandate.  Dr. Pete Humbaugh led a committee of teachers and parents in review of material options.  The dollars are set aside in textbook funds.  We have not adopted in many years are due for updated materials.  The cost will be $295,907.22 for a 6 year adoption cycle.   

We propose moving to CIESC to provide our video training.  The cost for 500 users is $1,800.  The move will save money over the previous provider. 

Update board on design of multi purpose building.
