Elkhart ISD’s June 22, 2026 board meeting included a bond update and consideration of a resolution to reimburse the district for prior lawful capital expenditures from future tax‑exempt bond proceeds. The item was presented by SAMCO’s Brian Grubbs along with district leadership, signaling active structuring of bond financing tied to upcoming or ongoing capital projects. This step is a key part of preparing to fund facilities and other capital work, allowing the district to proceed with design or early spending before full bond issuance.Vendors in construction, architecture, engineering, and capital project management should track this as the district firms up project scopes, timelines, and funding to position for upcoming procurements tied to the bond program.

Bond update presenters were Launa Bacon, Reese Briggs, and Brian Grubbs; resolution concerns reimbursement of prior capital expenditures from tax‑exempt obligations.
