Summary
The board approved the Fox School District Emergency Plan for 2025–2026 and adopted a set of Oklahoma State School Boards Association (OSSBA) policies covering student conduct, enrollment, transfers, nondiscrimination, maternity leave, medication administration, teacher performance standards and termination procedures.
During the Aug. 21, 2025 meeting, the Fox Board of Education approved the Fox School District Emergency Plan for the 2025–2026 school year and adopted multiple policies provided through the Oklahoma State School Boards Association (OSSBA). Clerk Stacie Fletcher moved to approve the emergency plan and Member Carolyn McConnell seconded; Vice‑President Otto Young voted aye. The board also approved OSSBA-recommended policies, as recorded in the minutes, including Student Conduct (FNC), Student Enrollment Procedure (FDA), Student Transfers for Children of Active‑Duty Military (FEG), Nondiscrimination (DAA), Maternity Leave (DEC‑R7), Medication: Administering to Students (FFACA), Standards of Performance and Conduct for Teachers (DOAC), Reporting Suspected Child Abuse and/or Neglect (FFG), Support Personnel Suspension/Demotion/Nonrenewal/Termination (DOAC), Teacher Termination (DO) and related administrative procedures and records-investigation policies (DABB) and seizure-safe schools policy (FFACDAA). The minutes record the board approved these OSSBA policies by motion with Fletcher and McConnell as mover and seconder. Why it matters: adoption of an emergency plan structures district response to crises for the coming school year; board adoption of OSSBA model policies establishes or refreshes district rules on student conduct, staff performance and statutory compliance areas such as child‑abuse reporting and nondiscrimination. The minutes indicate the policies and emergency plan were approved; the document does not include full policy text or implementation steps beyond the adoption vote. The minutes also state that contracts were signed and the meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m.
