Waynoka Public Schools board extends superintendents contract to three years after executive session

The Waynoka Public Schools Board of Education voted to extend the superintendents contract to a three-year term for the 2025-26 school year after an executive session held under Title 25 O.S. 307(B)(1) to discuss the superintendents evaluation and employment.

Board members moved and seconded the motion in open session after the executive session; the motion to extend the superintendents contract carried with all members voting yes. The board returned to open session at 7:13 p.m., and meeting minutes note the executive session addressed only the superintendents evaluation and employment.

The motion recorded in the meeting transcript was: "I move to extend the superintendent's contract to 3 year contract and give him the diploma statement." The motion was seconded and approved; the transcript identifies the second as "Caleb." The meeting record does not include the superintendents personal name in the public motion text.

The boards action followed an executive session conducted under a state statute that allows governmental bodies to meet privately for certain personnel matters; the statute cited in the meeting was Title 25 O.S. 307(B)(1). The board's public minutes state that, on returning to open session, members present included Gumb, Zook, George, Hansen, Olson and President Scott Bond.

No additional specifics about contract terms beyond the three-year extension appeared in the public record of the meeting. The board did not provide in the meeting transcript additional details such as salary, effective start date, or any performance conditions; the transcript indicates members expect the superintendent appointment terms to be addressed following the evaluation and vote.
