Waynoka board reviews finances, approves textbook committee, fundraisers and declares surplus property
Summary
At a regular meeting, the Waynoka Public Schools board heard principal and finance reports, reviewed escrow/settlement receipts and approved several consent items including the 2024-25 textbook adoption committee, multiple fundraisers and declaring items on Attachment A as surplus.
The Waynoka Public Schools Board of Education received school and finance reports and approved consent items including formation of the 2024-25 textbook adoption committee, a slate of fundraiser requests for the 2024-25 school year, and a motion to declare items listed on Attachment A as surplus property.
In the principals report, the board heard routine school updates: January is school award recognition month; Decembers word of the month was "perseverance"; the elementary Christmas program was held Dec. 16; semester incentives and trips were recapped; after-school programming resumed Jan. 6; and several student-athlete recognitions and upcoming events were listed (homecoming, tournaments and an auction to support FFA). Specific student names and teacher chaperones were given in the report.
The superintendent or district finance presenter reviewed the districts finances, noting revenue was up about $1,400,000 for the month; the transcript records that roughly $1,000,000 of that was in "Abba Warren" (term as spoken in the transcript). The presenter described multiple escrow/settlement receipts: general fund recoup of $238,360, a building fund recoup of $32,860 and sinking fund recoup of $75,737, which the presenter summarized as a total general fund collection of $346,009.64 and a total recoup from escrow of $388,861 for 2027 (years and labels provided in the transcript as stated). The presenter said differences between years reflect tax protests and timing of payments and that a fuller multi-year report is expected at the next board meeting.
