Bids for the THS Reroofing Project were advertised in the Kokomo and Tipton Tribunes on May 14th and 21st-with sealed bids due on June 4, 2025.  RLTurner along with 4021 Architecture reviewed all bids and determined Hinshaw Roofing and Sheet Metal as the successful bidder.  RLTurner is here at the meeting and will present the budget to the Board  It is recommended the Board accept the budget as recommended from RLTurner.  

Staff handbooks are updated and presented annually for approval by the TCSC Board of School Trustees.  There are changes regarding social media policy and annual sign-off of Technology Responsible Use Form.  Approval is recommended for the Handbooks for Certified and Classified Personnel, Transportation, and Food Service Staff. 

We ask for the school boards approval to declare surplus equipment from the high school FACS Lab and TMS STEM Lab.  Much of the equipment is no longer usable.  The memo attached describes the items declared surplus so they may be legally discarded.  

The Indiana State Board of Accounts requires school board approval to close out extra curricular accounts that are no longer utilized or underutilized.  Both the elementary and middle school have such accounts and are requesting permission to close the accounts and transfer the remaining funds ($4,794.76 TMS and $12.35 TES) to each school's Student Activities Account.  Specific accounts and balances are shared in your board packet.
