The Chickasha Public Schools Regular Board Meeting held on April 14, 2025, focused on the evaluation of educational programs and the performance of at-risk students. The meeting began with a presentation on the criteria for assessing educational effectiveness, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a 15 to 1 student-to-teacher ratio to support at-risk students.

The discussion highlighted the need for certified personnel in core subjects and the evaluation of the curriculum and intake processes. The presenter noted that while the program met many of the established criteria, there were areas for improvement. Specifically, Criterion 8, which assesses students' ability to articulate their academic goals, was identified as a shortcoming. The presenter acknowledged that their own comments during the evaluation process may have contributed to this rating, expressing a desire for a more open dialogue with students.

Further evaluations revealed that the program lacked a well-established process for recruiting support partners, which affected its overall effectiveness rating. Additionally, concerns were raised regarding access to library services for alternative education students, leading to a lower score in that area. The presenter shared that while students could access the high school library, the absence of an on-site library was a significant factor in the evaluation.

Despite these challenges, the program received a score of 92 out of 100, which the presenter viewed positively. They expressed pride in the accomplishments of their students, showcasing various projects and community involvement, including a library project and STEM activities.
