Valparaiso Community Schools has cut ties with former Superintendent Jim McCall, who was earning $3,000 a month to advise the new superintendent, Brian Smith — now that Dr. Smith is fully up to speed. The move follows community pushback and board confidence in Dr. Smith’s leadership, especially after he navigated the chaos of a derecho storm that delayed the school year. He’s pushing for state approval to skip making up missed days, arguing June make-up sessions don’t help students. The district’s 2027 budget hits over $106 million, slightly up from this year, and will head to the city council for review. The board also approved waiving transfer tuition for certain students — including employees’ kids and former private schoolers — expected to bring in nearly $921K in state funding for over 100 students.
