A facilities staff member reported the district received a $295,000 rebate check tied to recent work: \"We came we got $295,000 check, a couple weeks ago,\" the staff member said, thanking the team for pursuing the rebate opportunity. The board asked whether similar rebate opportunities exist for other schools and staff said they would look for them.

Board members asked about how remaining change-order contingencies are being used when projects come under budget; staff said leftover contingency can fund minor additional work or be transferred to other funds rather than leaving pockets of unused money. Sequoia’s recent work included an extra 20,000 square feet that was added under change order because the project came in under budget.

Board members also asked whether the district is on track with summer projects; facilities staff said work was proceeding well and that contingencies were sometimes used to avoid repeated board action for small fixes.

The board approved the listed change orders by roll call.","Facilities staff reported several contract change orders were closed out and that the district recently received a $295,000 energy/utility rebate tied to Sequoia work; board asked about use of leftover contingency and summer-project progress.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6491347,"Board discusses parking decal revenue, keeps rates pending further review",0,2548000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5529457-aa18d3a625eeee8b525341e4ef195454&start=2548&end=2548","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5529457-aa18d3a625eeee8b525341e4ef195454/thumbnail_2548000.jpg","/articles/6491347/Oklahoma/Board-discusses-parking-decal-revenue-keeps-rates-pending-further-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491347-c434a7708f3bcbaf1073216444d070af/orig.mp4?Expires=1771005455&Signature=ly~5VtyLUzk4IXPXNPFz6B2R2m~sR7nqwzCFjEhcrOXE6rPgV-iYiYBiTzn~kilMoxs~04Ht6JAmhURJouclzY5HL-75SryNVFt4gX4jjlEzHlgIij7AzpibDEiIbSEaPPbuGoxFZBHIv--KEAU60fTz3nEYXW9n3Sy1pl0FaOkXmeE7O6h6kwXSPEa9UkktClm30rvEItb3NUEx6OKqiUDTMydbaS13l8AihVSCEPZAFC298QwMxq9-mHXCvIeQgQrKqrcqO686nR9TUoS4NFzA8cto1IQrsXkpGJG0Gi8gV-M2sF2vyslBmSjhH-yC1fPACJRH~8E2i5wqHlUwjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Edmond Board of Education approved the consent agenda including the district’s fund manual but spent several minutes clarifying how parking-decal revenue is allocated and used.

During discussion board members asked where the 85% of the $60 parking decal fee goes and how the 15% set aside for parking-lot maintenance and related items is used. Miss Davis summarized the district’s practice: \"Based on our notes, that says that 15% of the permits go to the site activity account and the remaining 85% go to the general fund. We will do that twice a year in July and January.\" She added that the site receives a percentage back to use for local needs and that the district retains a portion for district-level maintenance.

Board members asked whether the decal money is used for major parking repairs or primarily for striping, golf-cart replacement and minor maintenance. A district staff member clarified that the 15% is mainly applied to striping and golf-cart costs and that larger repairs typically come from bond funds. Board members asked staff to provide the number of students who typically purchase decals and more detail on what the site-level funds are used for; staff agreed to bring that information to a future meeting on Aug. 22.

Several board members urged the district to review whether the current rates and allocations should be adjusted to reduce the fee burden on students, but staff said the district and individual sites currently rely on the revenue to cover routine parking-lot upkeep and equipment replacement.

The consent agenda passed; the board retained the page in the manual but requested follow-up information for the August meeting.","Edmond board accepted the finance manual with discussion about how parking-decal revenue is split; staff said 15% goes to district parking maintenance and 85% goes to the district general fund with site reimbursements, and board asked staff to return with counts and usage details.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6491352,"Edmond board approves multiple policy revisions including math requirement and exam-exemption clarifications",384,316000,700000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5529457-aa18d3a625eeee8b525341e4ef195454&start=316&end=700","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5529457-aa18d3a625eeee8b525341e4ef195454/thumbnail_316000.jpg","/articles/6491352/Oklahoma/Edmond-board-approves-multiple-policy-revisions-including-math-requirement-and-exam-exemption-clarifications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491352-cc779876296e9788ac47f7b569e57c05/orig.mp4?Expires=1771005455&Signature=NfGi~0-PRqewKq5obSE0pElQyVm5rtQPk42FIv5LewXtYiJRqHT6uneFHrIf95XEpghpvxhHKWsAQK75pJqUaOeQoo14xpyAz4hEEPXj5FCRkZFKpy2GspIQyxuyL7gOG8m7jSdHV0~WcmLdIhRpl1Ak0irWsiK17bJpvOZhsTtxeiVgs~6zjagUiapL0V370t~dcqcH3th1HHCqP3IcZo9hfTAsyst7HHyAztPG4VUuF9uaM97ffI~3gmweTrVUfGuCQeRLnFhjcsy5e39Fecyt1UNZCnBCuPkoTBWUnWf4SvKFSc8gz6p9E9uCNXta8dnCVf3H1zLQM9Gis1EDAQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Edmond Board of Education on Aug. 11 approved a package of policy revisions that include a new graduation math requirement, updated conduct and discipline language tied to a state law, and clarified rules on semester exam exemptions for high school students.

Superintendent Dr. Delish told the board the largest substantive change affects graduation requirements for the class of 2030: the district will require algebra I, geometry and algebra II as three of four math credits for that cohort. \"The law says they have to have four [math credits]. ... we feel that we have to require algebra 2 as part of our requirements for graduation,\" Dr. Delish said, explaining the change is intended to align district policy with guidance from the State Department of Education and local education organizations.

The board also approved language implementing aspects of Senate Bill 942. The update adds references to antisemitism into the certified staff standards of performance and conduct (policy DBCA) and into the student-discipline policy (policy FO). A district staff member said the district is awaiting state guidance about training and would either adopt state-provided training or develop its own if necessary.

A separate revision to support-employee procedures (referred to in the packet as DOAC/DOSAC) will be added to the negotiated agreement for support employees in the 2025–26 contract. Board members discussed that teacher-causes for termination are in state statute and support-employee causes are governed by the collective-bargaining agreement, which is why the negotiated agreement will be amended.

Board members also approved clarifications to the high-school semester exam-exemption policy (policy EIAC). The revised wording specifies that for second-semester classes juniors are eligible for up to two exemptions and seniors for up to seven, and that students must hold at least a B average to qualify. The policy text also ties chronic-absenteeism definitions to the State Department of Education and the district clarified that nine absences per semester (18 per year) constitute chronic absenteeism in the local attendance policy for purposes of exemptions.

Board members asked for clearer paragraphing and asked staff to communicate to families and school leaders which absences count against exemption eligibility. The district said it will publish the full list of allowable and noncountable absences.

The board approved each policy revision by roll call; all were recorded as approved.

Board members said the policies will be folded into the appropriate handbooks and collective-bargaining language where required, and staff will return with any implementation guidance or training requirements once state guidance is issued.","The Edmond Board of Education approved revisions to several district policies on graduation math requirements, staff conduct, support-staff procedures, semester exam exemptions and student discipline, including language added to address antisemitism per state law.","actionData","errors"]
