The schools clock, and the portrait's remaining dated lines

As of 10 November 2026

The superintendent search: Mansour Eid's retirement on 30 June 2027 stands as announced, and the search the Today portrait called the district's known next business now has its documented shape: the board will run a broad national search, the opening likely advertised on the Indiana School Boards Association's site beginning in November 2026, the process itself beginning around the start of the new year — board member Marcus Ellison's account to the Tribune of 9 October 2026, with the district's spokesperson confirming the retirement date. No successor had been named, and no posting had yet run, in the record reached at 10 November 2026. The district's enrollment stands on the fiscal-2025 E-Rate figure of 13,704, as the Schools section settled it; no newer corporation figure has been published in the record reached.

The remaining lines, re-run: The portrait's other dated lines stand where they stood, each re-checked against its carrier. The November election's county turnovers remain unofficial returns until the county canvass completes, their successions falling on 1 January 2027 regardless. The airport's record year remains its 2025 count of 1,111,002, announced in February 2026; no 2026 count has been published. The Clay High School appeal, voted unanimously by the school board on 2 November 2026, pends in the Indiana Court of Appeals with the district's programs still operating at Clay. The South Bend Museum of Art's thirty-six months from the Civic Center Board's vote of 27 August 2026 run to August 2029, unmoved. Tippecanoe Place's mansion stands without a use, and the College Football Hall of Fame building's present state remains unestablished — both carried exactly as their own sections leave them, no later published state having been found for either in the record reached.
