The board also voted to convene an executive session to discuss district staffing for 2025.

District finance staff reported that at the end of fiscal 2024 (June 30) the district's gift fund (Fund 81) held $372,724. Project-specific balances cited included $3,154.18 for an out-of-state fine arts project (Project 215), $75,000 for the Wisdom Foundation agriculture project (Project 216), and $235,000 for the Knuckles Foundation grant (Project 217). Since June 30 the district paid $46,550.94 in scholarships; the presenter said a $30,000 gift from Apple State Bank in December increased Fund 81's balance.

Revenue and investments: the general fund collections through March were reported at $16,704,144, with $1,140,278 collected in March alone. The presenter described several one-time revenue items that have increased current-year collections, including an adjustment for a prior teacher pay raise, anticipated further payments on the school resource officer grant and a settlement described as a target settlement. The district reported approximately $6,996,000 invested from the general fund and $2,969,000 in the billing/building fund for roughly $9,965,000 in operating investments; including other accounts the presenter cited roughly $10,426,000 total invested across funds.

Purchases and program spending approved under the consent agenda included network and security upgrades with NexTech (purchase order, $7,667), bus fleet maintenance with R & T Diesel ($4,977), technology purchases from Amazon for special education ($2,675), and a federal-program-funded purchase of $14,791 for Kronos timekeeping devices. The board was told the district acquired roughly a little over 100 Chromebooks to refresh older devices using federal program funds.

Child nutrition and activity funds: child nutrition served fewer meals in March compared with February (32 fewer breakfasts and 320 fewer lunches), which was attributed in part to spring break. Activity fund receipts and fundraisers were reported for several groups (baseball, yearbook, band, library, student council, choir), with Longfellow Elementary reported to have raised $15,131 for its activities.

The board took these formal actions during the meeting (roll-call or voice votes recorded in the minutes): the consent agenda (items 6.1–6.11) was approved; two out-of-state travel requests (Longfellow second grade and a high-school club) were approved; the board approved two summer driver education sessions with a $200 fee per student; a late request from College Hill Church of Christ to use a district bus in July was tabled pending further discussion with transportation staff; and the board voted to convene an executive session under Oklahoma's executive-session statute to discuss 2025 staffing.

Votes were recorded aloud for each motion; the minutes show the motions carried with affirmative votes from members present.

The board's administrative reports also included updates on grant-funded playground painting (Painted Playscapes from Healthy Schools Oklahoma), a new Healthy Schools grant for physical-education activities, grant-funded classroom resources and upcoming student events and state competitions. Transportation staff reported fleet maintenance issues and that a bus-driver training class will be offered in June to recruit additional drivers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Alva Board of Education April 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District officials reported gift-fund balances, investment totals and recent federal-program purchases, while the board approved the consent agenda, summer driver education sessions and routine travel requests and tabled a church bus use request.","taxTitle","Alva Public Schools, School Districts, Oklahoma","taxId",78462,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6611044,"Alva board swears in new member, elects officers in unanimous reorganization",0,3108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2900229-eca5d6f7568c654410397a5b3b5a9ba2&start=3108&end=3108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2900229-eca5d6f7568c654410397a5b3b5a9ba2/thumbnail_3108000.jpg","/articles/6611044/Oklahoma/Alva-board-swears-in-new-member-elects-officers-in-unanimous-reorganization","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6611044-bc2a379348fee8321e43e351f7558910/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155537&Signature=R6ii6-gHqn~A1S0YO9XTxilZDp2FNfas8HoCQZo~ARqsP6kc81FLP3YbBT3hcCUrLjaMNrpCm6l0Zb0GYPo44o2Y0mUXfwaTqPWazoyDLWuwWzu8LGfxzltuSpLsS-Gq7zetrk0UTp1we-hTr2wmeUK5TrfAcxzsTXzMVEKyg9tE1t1nqABQOu9jmm5oEvh2X3STqi~WBQL175pxnueM6veGbh4e2~17yUg7VGLEYwzS5TbSW38UXAiebI2qKNZ1QNaofuZEj-KLXADp-kUyyKsY1MkRMrUIQIYAkLR3wkY~700~d3vpW48bcnVlbuh6V~~nZTSlrWAA~ASV6JLdvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alva Public Schools Board of Education on April 8 administered the oath of office to its newest member, Paul Barton, and then reorganized its leadership, electing Karen Kane as board president, Shane Hanson as vice president, Kevin Pingleton as clerk and Paul Barton as deputy clerk.

Barton was sworn in during the meeting; the oath was read by the district official administering it and Barton repeated the required pledges of office. Board members publicly thanked outgoing president Mrs. McDermott for her service and leadership before opening nominations.

A board member nominated the slate of officers, another member seconded the motion, and board members voted aloud. The roll call recorded affirmative responses from Pingleton, McDermott, Kane, Hanson, Barton and other members present, resulting in a unanimous approval of the reorganization.

The board did not alter its committee assignments or announce other officer changes during the meeting.

The reorganization occurred near the start of the regular meeting after the clerk certified that meeting notice had been posted according to Oklahoma open-meeting requirements.","The Alva Public Schools Board of Education administered the oath of office to Paul Barton and unanimously approved a slate of officers, naming Karen Kane president, Shane Hanson vice president, Kevin Pingleton clerk and Paul Barton deputy clerk.","actionData","errors"]
