Sweep of November 11, 2026 · corporation layer at boundary strength
The corporation: Penn-Harris-Madison stands under Superintendent Dr. Heather Short (in the seat since July 1, 2025), and its Board of School Trustees stands — at the corporation's own page strength — with the same seven trustees this build banked: President Chris Riley; Vice President Ryan McCullough (Penn seat 2); Katie Bell (Penn, term 2025–2028); Gary Fox (Harris Township); Dana Sullivan (at-large, the board's secretary); and the two whose seats rode on the 2026 cycle, Jennifer (Jen) Smoker (Penn seat 1, appointed November 2025 to the vacancy Matthew Chaffee's resignation opened) and Larry Beehler (Madison Township, seat 5). One discipline is printed plainly: the certified precinct results for the Penn seat 1 and Madison races were not separately retrieved in the search — the Schools section records the same absence, down to Smoker's term caption conflict (a term "expiring in 2026" against a board-page caption of "Term Expires 2030") — so the board is printed as standing on the corporation's own current page, which post-dates the election, and not as a certified election result. The board approved the 2026–27 teachers' contract unanimously on October 12, 2026 — the same meeting at which Beehler's state honor (Awards leg) was presented. The corporation's own November news carries its U.S. News "2027 Best Schools" rankings (November 4, 2026) and its claim to the state's Top 5 percent on Spring 2026 ILEARN results — district-layer items, printed as the carrier's own. The school in town: Moran Elementary stands under Principal Lisa Russell — named as school leader in a November 2026 reading of the school's listing, and verified by the Schools section on November 11, 2026 — with Amanda Fox as assistant to the principal (her Granger-seated national award is the Awards leg's boundary entry; the seat is the fact here). Moran's enrollment lines print dated and unharmonized, as the Schools section left them: 444 in 2020, 411 in 2024, 389 in 2025 on the NCES series, and 379 on the school's DonorsChoose page as updated November 9, 2026 — four readings of a shrinking school, no one of them conformed to another.
