What the official record establishes
A five-member elected Board controls the district budget, staffing, facilities and districtwide policy. Seven separately scheduled school-based councils handle school-level decisions, but their proceedings were not available in the reviewed official repositories.
Facilities activity spans several projects
The central-office/bus-garage project continued after the Board began using the new office, while bleacher projects affected Fordsville, Ohio County Middle, Southern and Western.
Budget approvals lack a published per-pupil measure
Minutes record a tentative FY2027 budget and the adopted local property-tax rate, but do not separate annual local, state SEEK and federal funding shares, state total expenditures or provide a current expenditure-per-pupil figure.
Current technology rules combine broad and local restrictions
The AI policy requires district procedures; the phone policy allows narrow instructional exceptions but also contains stricter building-day, messaging and Internet prohibitions.
Minutes are absent for referenced January and June meetings and for September. Council schedules and notices do not establish that meetings occurred or what councils decided.
