Owasso board hires Ator Elementary principal and Owasso High assistant principal
Summary
The board approved two personnel appointments after executive session: Calissa Stang as Ator Elementary principal and Danielle Petty as Owasso High School assistant principal.
The Owasso Public Schools Board of Education on Monday voted to hire two administrators recommended by Superintendent Dr. Margaret Coates following an executive session.
Dr. Margaret Coates recommended Calissa Stang, who had been serving as interim principal at Ator Elementary, be named the permanent principal. The board approved the recommendation by unanimous roll call.
Coates also recommended Danielle Petty for the position of assistant principal at Owasso High School; the board approved Petty's appointment unanimously. The superintendent said Petty most recently served as assistant principal at the district's eighth grade center.
Both appointments were discussed in executive session under the authority of Title 25, Section 307(B)(1) of Oklahoma law and were announced when the board returned to open session. The board authorized standard follow-up actions by human resources, including issuance of employment contracts and public announcements.
Why it matters: These hires fill building-level leadership posts the district identified as priorities during the hiring process. Stang's appointment transitions her from interim to permanent status at Ator Elementary; Petty moves from the eighth grade center to a high-school leadership role.
What's next: Human resources will finalize contracts and post formal notices. Both principals are expected to assume their duties per standard district timelines and will be introduced to staff and families at their school sites.
