Noblesville Schools 2027 budget hearing tops three agenda-only meetings; no votes listed
Three Noblesville Schools meetings were held in the past two weeks, and none of the agendas supplied lists a formal decision or vote. The records are agendas only — minutes have not been published — so no outcomes, tallies, or dollar amounts are established by the material available.
2027 budget hearing draws the most attention
The board's Oct. 7 work session, open to the public, centered on a hearing for the 2027 budget, presented by Chief Financial Officer David Hortemiller. The agenda also provides for public comment on agenda topics: 30 minutes total, three minutes per speaker, with sign-up required.
The agenda does not include a proposed budget total, a tax rate, or any other dollar figure, and it lists no vote on the budget. The same agenda notes the next regular board meeting is scheduled for Oct. 27, 2026, at 6 p.m.
Referendum information discussed with City Council
On Sept. 29, the Board of Trustees and the Noblesville City Council held a joint work session. The agenda lists a discussion of referendum information and a joint discussion between the two bodies, along with a public comment period of three minutes per speaker and a 30-minute limit.
The agenda does not identify which referendum is at issue, what question it would put to voters, or any amounts involved. No formal decisions are listed.
Closed session on Oct. 7
The board also met in executive session on Oct. 7 at the Educational Services Center, 18025 River Road, Noblesville, IN. The session was closed to the public. The agenda states the board would discuss matters permitted under Indiana Code 5-14-1.5-6.1(b) and then adjourn, with no public decisions or votes scheduled. The agenda does not describe the specific subject matter.
What the records do not show
All three meetings are documented by agenda only. Because minutes are not yet published, this roundup cannot report what was said, what was presented in detail, or whether any action was taken. The absence of a listed vote on an agenda is not evidence that no action occurred.
The supplied records also contain no meetings of the MSD of Moorestown; the three items listed are all Noblesville Schools meetings.
Coming up
The supplied list of upcoming meetings for the next 14 days is empty. The one future date that appears anywhere in the records is the next regular Noblesville Schools board meeting, noted in the Sept. 29 and Oct. 7 agendas as Oct. 27, 2026, at 6 p.m. — 14 days after today, just outside the two-week window. Readers who want to attend should confirm the time and location with the district, since the agendas do not list a location for that meeting.
