We ended February with cash balances as follows:
Education Fund - $802,556.81
Operations Fund - $627,829.04
Debt Service - $532,748.57
Rainy Day Fund - $2,035,833.41
The February basic support payment increased by $42,652. This increase was due to DOE reconciling our special education counts (taken 12/1/25) into our payments and catching us up from the time frame: July 2025 to January 2026. The February ADM count of 1336 will be reconciled into our payments in the coming months. A transfer of $145,652 was made from education to operations. Operations fund expenses exceeded revenue by $190,759. Interest income for the month totaled $19,169.07.
In order to find additional financial efficiencies due to the impacts of SEA1 2025, the Tipton Education Association and Tipton Community School Corporation created a Memorandum of Understanding creating a one-time a retirement incentive for certified staff. The incentive includes a $50,000 incentive paid out over 5 years that can be used as a cash incentive or to cover the cost of an eligible TCSC insurance package. In addition, TCSC will buy-out up to 100 sick days at $100 per day. The incentive is capped at the first eight participants unless mutually agreed to extend the incentive to additional certified staff. The Memorandum of Understanding must be approved by the school board, then by Indiana Education Employment Relations Board (IEERB).
The Board granted permission to advertise for Mowing Bids at its February 10, 2026 meeting. Advertisements were made in the Kokomo Tribune and Tipton Tribune as well as social media platforms. We received 7 bids on March 2. It is recommended to award the 2 year mowing contract to Cage and Company LLC as the lowest most responsive bid package.
