The Rossville Consolidated School District Board of Education met in regular session on July 1, 2025, to address a full agenda of personnel matters, policy updates, and facility improvements aimed at supporting students and staff for the upcoming 2025–2026 school year.
Personnel Updates
The Board approved several key personnel recommendations, including the appointments of Jacqueline James as a Speech-Language Pathologist and Courtney Lytle as a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant. Additional instructional staff hires included Nickolas Seager for a math position and Anne Meeks for chemistry. In collaboration with Clinton County Joint Services, the Board approved Amanda Yoder as an Educational Consultant and a contract for school psychology services with Sunny Nook Services, LLC.
Further, contracts were approved for Suzanne Evans to serve as the Director of Exceptional Needs and Amanda Huffer as an Educational Consultant for the 2025–2026 school year. The Board also approved updated classified staff handbooks, consolidating them into three categories: school bus drivers, non-exempt timeclock employees, and exempt salaried staff.
Policy Revisions and Retirements
To ensure alignment with current practices and legal standards, the Board considered updates to the district’s policy manual in partnership with the Indiana School Boards Association. Notable actions included the retirement of Section 3540 – Teacher Appreciation Grant and revisions to Sections 4220 – Emergency Medications, 4300 – Student Discipline Rules and Section 4040 – Audio and Video Taping of Case Conferences.
Financial Matters
The Board approved a resolution authorizing the purchase of gift cards in accordance with State Board of Accounts guidelines and authorized surety bonds for key financial personnel, including the treasurer, deputy treasurer, ECA treasurer, and food service manager.
In addition, the Board approved a revised agreement that allows Carroll and Delphi Schools to join the Clinton County Joint Services Cooperative Program, thereby reinforcing regional collaboration in special education services.
To support the timely completion of the previously approved track resurfacing project, the Board authorized $50,000 in additional funding from the Rainy Day Fund, following changes in contractor availability and the need for necessary sub-base improvements.
The Board also approved a $0.10 increase in student meal prices for both breakfast and lunch, as recommended by Sara Day, Director of Dining Services. Adult meal prices will remain unchanged.
Other Actions
The Board declared various outdated or unused equipment as surplus for proper disposal in accordance with Indiana law.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Rossville Board of Education will be held on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the school’s library.
