Union Public Schools wins Glenn Snyder human relations award from OEA

The Union Public Schools Board Meeting on May 12, 2025, highlighted significant achievements and initiatives aimed at enhancing student success. A standout moment came when the board celebrated the district's receipt of the Glenn Snyder Human Relations Award, a prestigious recognition from the statewide Oklahoma Education Association (OEA). This accolade was made possible through the efforts of the Community Teachers Association (CTA), which applied for the award on behalf of the district.

In addition to the award, the board discussed the success of the early release program, known as Bridal. Board members expressed gratitude for the approval of this initiative, which has proven effective in boosting student achievement. The success of the program was attributed not only to the hard work of the administrators but also to the unwavering dedication of the teaching staff, who have ensured that these early release Fridays are both productive and beneficial for students.

As the meeting concluded, the board underscored the importance of these initiatives in fostering a supportive educational environment, paving the way for continued improvements in student performance and community engagement.
