The Mustang Public Schools Board of Education approved multiple business items and consent agendas, including contracts financed with bond funds, policy revisions and employment schedules.
Major business approvals recorded at the meeting included:
• HVAC additions for Mustang North Middle School and Mustang Middle School: The board approved a base contract of $710,000 and alternate number 1 for $60,000 to add air conditioning to both gyms. District representatives said bond funds will pay for the project.
• Memorandum of Understanding with Yukon Public Schools: The board approved an MOU establishing a partnership to provide daycare services for employees of both districts. The facility will be located in the Yukon district and the districts will cooperate on hiring a director for the program.
• Contract for district phone system replacement: The board approved a multi‑year contract to replace the district’s Cisco VoIP system with a new Fort Voice solution. Board discussion cited compliance requirements under Kari’s Law, the Ray Baum Act and Alyssa’s Law that affect 911 and location transmission, and the new system was described as expandable and paid with bond funds (approximately $356,000 for four years of support, then an estimated $75,000 for the following four‑year period).
• Policy revisions and handbook changes: The board approved revisions to policy 02/1990 (open campus), policy 5075 (graduation requirements) and removal of the semester testing exemption for grades 9–12 from the 2024–25 student handbook.
• Consent and financial consents: Consent agenda items F1–F7 and financial consent agenda items G1–G8 were approved without separate discussion.
• Personnel schedules: The board approved superintendent recommendations concerning employment as listed on Schedule A, Schedule B and Schedule C.
Motions were approved by voice vote; minutes record the motions, second and roll call/voice approvals but do not list detailed roll‑call tallies for each item in the public portion of the transcript. Where amounts or funding sources were referenced at the meeting, the board indicated bond proceeds for the HVAC and phone system purchases and noted cooperative funding/operations for the Yukon daycare MOU.
Ending — Board members said staff will follow up with implementation steps, including contract execution, scheduling for HVAC installation and coordination with Yukon for the daycare rollout.
