Superintendent Dr. Hall led tributes for Angeline Brinson, praising more than 30 years of teaching and calling her a \"leader, a mentor, and a steady presence we could always count on.\" Dr. Hall said Brinson’s classroom \"was a place where students felt, and still do, seen, supported, and challenged to grow\" and closed the tribute quoting Dr. Seuss: \"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. We're smiling today because of everything Angeline Brinson has contributed to our lives.\" (Speaker: Dr. Hall.)

The board also recognized Dave Cloud, who the district said is retiring after 40 years of service. The remarks summarized Cloud’s classroom work teaching business and economics courses, three decades on the high school football coaching staff (freshmen, junior varsity and varsity), eight years with PHMS football and four decades as the varsity wrestling coach. The district noted Cloud’s role as the Indiana representative of the National Wrestling Coaches Association and his plans to remain active in scholastic leadership conferences for the association.

Two math teachers were recognized for long tenures: Mrs. Dunn, credited with 37 years of service, was noted for sponsoring academic teams, SADD and Best Buddies and for plans to work as a tour director in retirement; and Mrs. Rosley, credited with 36 years of service, was recognized for teaching algebra, geometry, algebra II and dual‑credit courses and for her ties to the Pendleton community. Colleagues and the superintendent thanked the retirees for decades of service and wished them well.

The recognitions were ceremonial; the meeting provided refreshments and an opportunity for staff, board members and the retirees' families to speak informally after the tributes.","South Madison Community School Corporation celebrated multiple retirees — including longtime coach Dave Cloud, teachers Angeline Brinson, Mrs. Dunn and Mrs. Rosley — with tributes highlighting decades of service.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6239514,"South Madison projects fall enrollment at about 4,569; district capacity at 84%",461,2011000,2472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3337510-b37c158d90a37d6fb467926454127435&start=2011&end=2472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3337510-b37c158d90a37d6fb467926454127435/thumbnail_2011000.jpg","/articles/6239514/Indiana/South-Madison-projects-fall-enrollment-at-about-4569-district-capacity-at-84","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6239514-98340b22ab0de1e6c6dafef4e76b5440/orig.mp4?Expires=1770576838&Signature=JE6-btWgBEbkx8QgDs-HsyNdS1GxQN6bHggvGuuyeoT4zOB0Bc3L5Hf~JbreSLSZ1CZIk4vKQwh0CxUG9cmB7kbXcuOzvkFSXMvkHMFwA8mDAWaFiG8PJ9G7W29RxiJMU3HrMEnB3mncPYX0mU692VY1BWfVxHoiAYz879ix71CBTmvpagPFssAZLeOYrZfw46ITGCdXS5aMJ940TCe0ead9ywxq7bWlwA6wKmRX2tVbZuVIOEBtDn3Sp~~BcKeZWreCak9gFqyt8vdkhZD5ion64JDJtW6VYdKjW9IshBRGbgxBANCpUuWfXQL3Mk6rr5PcD03EWiKNqpRUfQqcOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Dr. Hall reported projected student counts for the 2025–26 school year and said the district is not facing immediate overcrowding.

Dr. Hall told the South Madison Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees the district expects about 1,372 students at Pendleton Heights High School, 701 at the middle school, 677 at East Elementary, 860 at Maple Ridge and 959 at the Pendleton campus, for a district total of about 4,569 students including nonresident enrollments. He said the district has capacity for 5,450 students, which places the system at roughly 84% utilization with current projections.

Dr. Hall said nonresident students make a notable difference in building utilization: without nonresident students the districtwide utilization would be about 73%. \"If we were running without the nonresident students, we'd be at 76%\" at the high school, he said, and he gave similar percent estimates for other buildings.

The superintendent described the district's demographer as closely tracking actual enrollments. Dr. Hall noted the demographer’s 10‑year forecast projected 1,392 students at the high school and said the consultant remains within roughly 20 students of current counts: \"He's within 20 kids out of almost 1,400, so that's pretty accurate,\" Dr. Hall said. He added the demographer guaranteed a margin of error of about 2% over the 10‑year window and recommended the board continue to rely on that forecast to guide planning.

Dr. Hall reviewed capacity and nonresident counts by building and highlighted demographic shifts that affect short‑term space needs. He pointed out Maple Ridge will lose a particularly large class after next year and that some kindergarten class sizes at Pendleton are temporarily larger because a number of nonresident students are placed there in kindergarten before moving to East in first grade. He also noted that new housing in the Hunsicker Farms area contributed to forecast variance at Pendleton.

The presentation did not include a formal board action; Dr. Hall invited questions and said he would continue to field follow‑up inquiries about the forecast and building assignments.

Board members did not take a vote on enrollment projections at the meeting.","Superintendent Dr. Hall told the South Madison Community School Corporation board that fall projections show 4,569 students districtwide (including nonresident students), leaving district capacity at roughly 84% and prompting continued reliance on a demographer’s 10‑year forecast.","actionData","errors"]
