Michael Florey was recommended to serve as district treasurer until a full‑time chief financial officer is hired. A motion to appoint Florey passed on a recorded roll call; votes recorded in the transcript show board members voting yes. The board administered the oath of office as part of the appointment process.

On the amended budget, Finance presented that some budgeted funds had not been appropriated for specific spending and the action increased the amount the district can spend this fiscal year. The board approved the amended 2024–25 budget after a motion and recorded roll-call vote.

The board also considered authorization for the superintendent to pursue a bank line of credit or other financing in consultation with district general counsel. Brandon Webb (district counsel/staff) and other presenters told the board the district faces a short-term cash-flow issue because enrollment surged and the district capped new enrollments in spring; the presenters said state revenue for students who enroll after the district’s cutoff is delayed until distributions in August and a midterm adjustment in January. Brandon Webb said the financing would “help us get through June and through July.” The board voted to allow the superintendent, with counsel, to execute agreements to obtain that financing.

Discussion versus decision: the budget amendment and treasurer appointment were formal board actions; the financing authorization gives staff authority to negotiate and execute loan or credit agreements subject to counsel review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 15, 2025 Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved an amended budget for 2024–25, appointed Michael Florey as interim district treasurer, and authorized the superintendent to execute agreements with counsel to obtain bank financing to address short-term cash flow timing.","taxTitle","EPIC ONE ON ONE CHARTER SCHOOL, School Districts, Oklahoma","taxId",14544,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6231724,"Board approves Pathways adult high-school applications; bill to extend age to 30 noted",86,285949,372770,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3428924-761949047ef3368173c708a32b016749&start=285&end=372","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3428924-761949047ef3368173c708a32b016749/thumbnail_285949.jpg","/articles/6231724/Oklahoma/Board-approves-Pathways-adult-high-school-applications-bill-to-extend-age-to-30-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231724-4b00d20b6f929af19e3eb2a2ea243d21/orig.mp4?Expires=1770510001&Signature=kTBHgpNGdb28Hj0EQqWFLL2I8zB6dXFU1ZSHQwY54oqVOE2Vh9z~X-DMFlkiSm-VkpC7Bd7KczmhuM6A6Wo584YfTa9BIAXJrNokASOqvNRmJMWxAGjvsQoFhv6122RLamaHxO1TBFlov1ZN0i-fvSL1key2Y4otmCBvEyHo10tSFXBbGxt86U~T8yPwHft6MZtuqKoTRs2KYbdC5pliWgKAAG2mHIIg9iaXCdsoSnHnpCQwb6IbpsXvl9oe4PQmcHtqaVPiY~PbnWZrQYkZJt~CYZGNajZmMCLbR-sRR2KSfmOYNfa4nUMiQRlxLRcz4931N5vr2Sb98S9mBLRYIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The EPIC ONE ON ONE CHARTER SCHOOL board on May 15 approved applications for the Pathways adult high-school completion program for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 school years and discussed state legislation that could expand eligibility for virtual programs.

Board members moved to approve the 2024–25 Pathways applications and then the 2025–26 applications. Votes were recorded in favor on roll calls for both approvals. For the 2024–25 approval, Miss Berry, Miss Casper, Mr. Hammonds, Miss Myers and Mr. Bell voted yes. The same members recorded yes votes on the 2025–26 approvals.

At the meeting, Superintendent Bart Banfield told the board he had been informed that the Oklahoma Legislature had approved and sent to the governor “Senate Bill 7745,” which, as described in the meeting, would extend the age of students a virtual public school can serve from 26 to 30. Banfield said the district was “extremely excited” and hopeful the governor would sign the bill so EPIC could accept students up to age 30 for the next year.

Board discussion included a brief comment about potential Medicaid work requirements and the importance of adults having capacity to finish their high-school education; that comment appeared during the Pathways discussion but was attributable to a board member speaking without a formal motion attached.

Discussion versus decision: the legislative update was informational; the formal board actions were the approvals of the Pathways applications for both school years, which passed on recorded votes.","The board approved Pathways adult high-school completion applications for 2024–25 and 2025–26 and discussed state legislation that would raise the age limit from 26 to 30 for virtual program students if signed by the governor.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6231729,"EPIC Charter Schools board highlights special-education gains, extends superintendent contract",1178,26250,1204885,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3428924-761949047ef3368173c708a32b016749&start=26&end=1204","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3428924-761949047ef3368173c708a32b016749/thumbnail_26250.jpg","/articles/6231729/Oklahoma/EPIC-Charter-Schools-board-highlights-special-education-gains-extends-superintendent-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231729-378c92d303a46cf2ce28ab57884b4553/orig.mp4?Expires=1770510001&Signature=M5rVC4UCYpJ0AXZKB63O4XPZ1oHnmgKyumvj9fUuNtgNDCktxx3EhChMQjenKJuZIrdsdrHOsYVwnnZHxsytEoyDb~cJ0StJ3xV67GSG~8OVuJg6SLV0oBChlhtBiPu-RcjnWBVyJCRGJ2PJ5tLneh6DNv04fDl95aYU4xu8LDQ28bIa5LrsuSO-EXd9f5gf~nl3TQX42vlFAZOaBQyLdOZUbMdXnlzM0y85xRElpQ5ObqoIUVcNvibJ2d44cKdTE1DcikXFSPpv6qmYwNxTvws6hkx7Q77XMvj~qi4JtxFXRyOjyrRWVFn66rbQEnhbfW28VFh4o135dT2m32hVmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The EPIC ONE ON ONE CHARTER SCHOOL board on May 15 spotlighted progress for students with disabilities, presented district academic-growth data and voted to add one year to the superintendent's contract.

The superintendent's office emphasized special-education outcomes in a video and remarks at the meeting. Superintendent Bart Banfield said about one in four students at EPIC is served through special education and that the district “has one of the most inclusive learning environments in the state of Oklahoma.” The board watched family testimonials describing faster access to individualized education plans and coordinated special-education services.

The superintendent framed those personal accounts as part of broader academic gains. Justin Hunt, deputy superintendent of instruction, presented month-by-month formative assessment results and said the district had “achieved our goal a month ahead of time” in English language arts and was ahead of target in math. Hunt told the board the district’s engagement measure hovered between 70% and 75% this year and that the district’s goal was 80%.

School leaders also noted extracurricular recognition: the student-led EPIC News Network won more than 10 awards at the Oklahoma Scholastic Media Spring Media Day. Becky Wilkinson, director of the State Charter School Board, was acknowledged for spotlighting student journalists.

Board members moved several governance items that followed the presentations. A motion to add one year to the superintendent’s contract passed on a recorded roll call. Miss Berry, Miss Casper, Mr. Hammonds, Miss Myers and Mr. Bell all voted yes on the extension.

Several teachers and parents appeared in the superintendent spotlight material. Regina Bell, a classroom teacher featured by the district, was quoted in the video saying, “We listen. We don't judge,” and family speakers credited teachers and the district’s individualized approach with improved communication and academic skills for their children.

Discussion versus decision: the presentations and testimonial video were informational. The board took formal action only on the contract extension, which passed by recorded vote.

The board closed the governance portion of the meeting and moved on to finance and personnel items later in the agenda.","The EPIC ONE ON ONE CHARTER SCHOOL board at its May 15 meeting spotlighted special-education student progress and district academic gains, approved a one-year contract extension for Superintendent Bart Banfield and reviewed governance performance metrics.","actionData","errors"]
