WHAT THIS LEG DID NOT SETTLE · EACH GAP WITH THE RECORD THAT WOULD SETTLE IT
GAP-NCSCH-1 — The formation instrument and date. The corporation's combination is settled to the late 1960s by buildings and yearbooks, but the reorganization order and exact date its units combined were not reached. Settler: the Indiana Department of Education's corporation history for corporation 4805, the reports of the State Commission for the Reorganization of School Corporations, or the corporation's earliest board minutes.
GAP-NCSCH-2 — The one-room roster. Olive Township's district schools by number and site are known firmly only at No. 5, Tulip Road. Howard's 1907 Olive Township chapter — the brief's designated first-hand base alongside Chapman — was not read; a full-text fetch of the archive.org item (historyofstjosep01howa) timed out and was not retried, and the chapter was not located on the part-transcription carrier within a bounded search. Settler: Howard, A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana (1907), vol. 1, Olive Township chapter, read first-hand.
GAP-NCSCH-3 — The early superintendents. The line is settled from Duane Wrightson's resignation (June 30, 2007) forward, with Philip Bender's opening year unsettled inside it, and is open behind Wrightson to the corporation's founding. Settler: the Indiana State Board of Accounts audit series' schedules of officials for the years before 2010, with the state school directories.
GAP-NCSCH-4 — The certified 2026 returns. The November 3, 2026 at-large result is known only in its La Porte County unofficial portion (DeMeyer 1,675; Beebe 1,332); the St. Joseph County portion was not reached, and David Siddall's absence from the La Porte summary is unexplained. Settler: the certified returns of the St. Joseph County and La Porte County clerks and the Indiana Election Division's certified summary, after which any transition prints with the new board term.
GAP-NCSCH-5 — The parish school's present state. Whether the St. Stanislaus Kostka School reopened in 1995 still operates in November 2026, and at what grades, is unverified. Settler: the parish office and bulletins of St. Stanislaus Kostka, Terre Coupee, and the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend schools office.
GAP-NCSCH-6 — The middle school's move, and the town building's later course. The year New Prairie Middle School left the former high school in town for Cougar Road, and the old building's subsequent use or survival, were not reached. Settler: NPUSC board minutes and facilities records, with the Town of New Carlisle's records.
GAP-NCSCH-7 — The Olive Elementary determination. The board was to make final determinations on Olive Township Elementary's future by early 2026 after the fall 2025 input process; the determination itself was not reached. Settler: NPUSC Board Notes, January–May 2026.
GAP-NCSCH-8 — Building years for three schools. Construction years and addition courses for Prairie View Elementary, Olive Township Elementary, and New Prairie Middle School were not reached (the high school's 1968 date and Rolling Prairie's conversion rest on the 2014 bond statement and the community record). Settler: NPUSC facilities records and the corporation's bond official statements.
GAP-NCSCH-9 — The state enrollment series. Enrollment prints from the NCES Common Core of Data as the named series; the Indiana Department of Education's Compass fall ADM for corporation 4805 was not pulled. Settler: IDOE Compass, corporation 4805, by year.
GAP-NCSCH-10 — Boundary attendance, both strands. Whether New Carlisle children attend the Michigan City or La Porte parochial schools, and whether South Bend corporation schools enroll Olive Township children on transfer, are untested in any enrollment record. Settlers: the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend schools office and the receiving schools; the Indiana Department of Education's student-transfer reporting.
