Why it matters: Vendor choices and meal pricing affect daily food service, program revenue and student meal access.
The board approved US Foods (via the Campus Smart cooperative) as the district's prime vendor, Frontier Produce for fresh-produce supply, Simple Simon's as the pizza vendor, Highland Dairy for milk, and Bug Brothers for child-nutrition pest control services. Board members also approved a pricing update for student breakfast and lunch for the 2025-26 fiscal year; staff said the district uses a state/federal formula to set allowable prices and that federal guidance requires the calculation.
Separately, the board accepted a new five-year beverage agreement with Pepsi. The updated sponsorship structure sets an annual sponsorship maximum of $11,000 tied to sales performance; district staff said the payout will be prorated by percent of a target case-sales figure (for example, 88% of target yields 88% of the $11,000). Officials noted the district previously received about $50,000 annually during a prior 10-year Coke agreement and that USDA changes constrained revenue opportunities from vending and concessions.
Board members voted to approve the contracts and pricing adjustments. Officials said they expect to monitor program revenue and compliance with federal nutrition rules.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOE Meeting: 7/17/24","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved child-nutrition vendor contracts, a nutrition pricing update for 2025-26, and a new five-year Pepsi sponsorship structure that caps annual sponsorship payout at $11,000 tied to sales.","taxTitle","BIXBY, School Districts, Oklahoma","taxId",38406,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6164458,"Bixby board approves contracts with city for four school resource officers at $275,733",136,2200000,2336000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428511-7a880c47224def24d447be80ed2c33a9&start=2200&end=2336","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428511-7a880c47224def24d447be80ed2c33a9/thumbnail_2200000.jpg","/articles/6164458/BIXBY/School-Districts/Oklahoma/Bixby-board-approves-contracts-with-city-for-four-school-resource-officers-at-275733","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164458-cac3357b3ea42a8efc363eca849681d3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770851444&Signature=KfRPLyFHycpn~YRdbuoR6d9XuGPz0fQYkWdxqsmrfT28Ftj1~Pr2SRyZvA4EHzhdB6YLuwylEoxtKt5PW3fkX0zkI23ezMuqapEsZlhnGgeyXEb4CRbDaAQdscHqZScpjkjzNyJ1FW589FeFxrxg~2fSNKqFgvQzzBOwUyFbxwq6DEXBXL7ic00lqTkirdFQIK5I-RFSGlhJGWxF8m1iwW9orHbDRvMg9549Re6zC94vLl8kiQblDgmsdDm47pF7UNPLbTJCJxzfw6wFmsHKtNIv2fdE8d8A6tViCHvwMUkYD86-k55OSkVxvViX~blgBb~VY3vVw384b3l0r3ICyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bixby Board of Education on July 17 approved two contracts with the City of Bixby to provide four school resource officers (SROs) for the 2025-26 fiscal year at a combined cost of $275,733.28.
Why it matters: The contracts fund law-enforcement presence at district schools and the district said it is pursuing grants to add officers.
District staff said the cost rise reflects labor negotiations by the city and that the allocation method did not change: where officers spend a defined percentage of their time with the schools, the district pays that percentage of salary. The board noted two of the current SROs spend 82% of their time at district campuses and the district covers 82% of those salaries; the city pays the remainder.
District officials said Police Chief Blish and his team are applying for grants to fund three additional SRO positions, and the district hopes to secure at least two fully funded officers so the district would not add to its local cost. The board approved the contracts by voice vote.","The board approved two contracts with the City of Bixby to fund four school resource officers for the 2025-26 fiscal year at a total cost of $275,733.28 and discussed grant applications for additional officers.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6164464,"Bixby expands Khan Academy, renews Turnitin and Edpuzzle contracts; shortens summer PD after federal funds freeze",717,2763000,3480000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428511-7a880c47224def24d447be80ed2c33a9&start=2763&end=3480","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428511-7a880c47224def24d447be80ed2c33a9/thumbnail_2763000.jpg","/articles/6164464/BIXBY/School-Districts/Oklahoma/Bixby-expands-Khan-Academy-renews-Turnitin-and-Edpuzzle-contracts-shortens-summer-PD-after-federal-funds-freeze","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164464-7258ea6466c4315c672080eea705292f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770851444&Signature=Ml4eT4C7RFYaddwu741xvlxOmHF2wpBVSDrxbrUMJlKD-LBVaWefOg7N1alaDULNGSLYokXn1XoyufE6ju9kU~t2ft0r6EAsFInd6maI5tgrYD554b5ygBFksXmwbK9r2gZP0Vb8L-8a8b2it1g7OeZJJbZQNtVpB-355Sf7-FeUH2U0a3prAduVxRKpF4kYtCYrpQ9yw7gisS-wguvrRCmh0S1pQ2OtQZmHbLjTtbfSCzMHZZOfPyQ6OjSUc1XEZkfOcHmScRw7z3yXmV9yonbLg~2lofaDTC4o4H8v6QMrOOMnCYM2GPxjdZy1I0FHVGghbX4iq4TQhcQuep7Kdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bixby Board of Education on July 17 approved agreements for classroom technology and writing-similarity tools and revised a summer training contract after federal funds became unavailable.
Why it matters: The contracts affect student-facing digital tools, teacher professional development and the district's approach to AI and plagiarism detection.
The board approved a $17,800 renewal for Turnitin, a plagiarism- and AI-similarity detection tool used primarily in secondary English classes, and a $21,282.15 renewal for Edpuzzle, a video-lesson platform used across grade levels. The board also approved expanding the district's free Khan Academy agreement to cover middle school, including Khan's Khanmigo AI features. District staff said Khan Academy was chosen in part for student data protections and in-house AI handling.
Separately, the district amended its previously authorized two-week Writers'Workshop summer contract with Teachers College. Title II federal funds that had been expected to pay for two weeks remained frozen, so the district negotiated a one-week program at a reduced price of $15,200 to be paid from state SRA funds the district said are already available. District officials said the vendor agreed to adjust the contract without penalty.
District staff described Turnitin as having three components: a student-facing checking tool, traditional plagiarism detection for teachers and an AI-similarity detector that can yield false positives; the district said teachers will be trained on interpretation and use. Officials said they are also planning teacher training and student orientation around safe and appropriate classroom use of AI platforms.
Board members approved the contracts and the amended professional-development agreement by voice vote.","The board approved renewals and expansions for classroom technology and AI-detection tools and amended a summer professional development contract after federal Title II funds were frozen.

Why it matters: The changes affect daily student conduct, emergency procedures and how families may request records from the district.
The board voted to adopt revisions to the elementary, intermediate and secondary student handbooks, certified and support staff handbooks, the student-parent athletic handbook and several policies. The wireless-telecommunication policy now defines wireless devices to include cell phones, smartphones, smartwatches, smart glasses and headphones and specifies that devices must be out of sight and powered off during instructional time (\"bell to bell\"). The policy retains limited exceptions for medical emergencies and for designated supervised student workspaces. Discipline follows a progressive approach the district described as: first reminder, second call to parent and device held by the office for pickup, and later steps that may include loss of device privileges.
The board added legally required language to the district's nondiscrimination policy to account for antisemitism as described in recent state law changes. The student transfer policy was adjusted to reflect updated capacity figures for grade bands and the district said transfers remain limited by existing capacity. The board updated medication procedures to mirror a state requirement that staff call 911 after administering epinephrine. The retention policy was revised to align with the state Sufficient/Strong Readers Act (SRA) changes. The open-records policy was tightened to require reasonably specific requests, including timeframes and identifiers, before district staff process requests.
Officials said the revisions were largely technical and written to reflect new state law and recently clarified procedures. The board indicated it will provide local implementation details and training to staff, and that some changes, such as how device exceptions are managed in supervised spaces, will be rolled out with school-level protocols before the fall term.
Board members voted unanimously to approve the bundle of handbook and policy updates. Implementation and communication to families and staff were described as next steps.","The Bixby Board of Education approved a slate of handbook and policy updates July 17, including a districtwide bell-to-bell ban on wireless devices, added nondiscrimination language, and changes to student transfer capacity and medical response procedures.","actionData","errors"]
