Last Tuesday, May 9, 2023 the TCSC Board of School Trustees participated in a public hearing for discussing and hearing objections to and support for a proposed contract between the School Board and the Superintendent of Schools. This hearing was advertised to the public on April 21, 2023 in the Kokomo Tribune, and on April 26, 2023 in the Tipton County Tribune. At this time the board will take action on the superintendent's contract.
Tipton Community School Corporation is considering a General Obligation Bond issuance for the purposes of replacing school buses and corporation vehicles for our maintenance department. By doing so, TCSC will be able to provide some financial relief to the operation fund allowing us to better maintain and repair our buildings. Jeff Qualkinbush is here to answer any questions regarding the proposed General Obligation Bond.
In your board packet is a resolution approving additional appropriation for the General Obligation Bond proceeds and interest earning. This appropriation will allow TCSC to receive proceeds from the bonds issuance and then purchase buses, vehicles, and other facilities improvements. Jeff Qualkinbush from Barnes and Thornburg is here to answer any questions regarding the additional appropriation.
