Votes at a glance: Board approves athletics contract, adjunct hires, consent agenda and superintendent extension
Summary
The Bethany Public Schools Board of Education recorded a series of unanimous roll-call approvals including a professional services contract for the athletic campus, two adjunct teaching positions, consent agenda items, encumbrance adjustments and a superintendent contract extension.
The Bethany Public Schools Board of Education recorded a series of motions and roll-call approvals during its regular meeting on agenda items ranging from contracts to personnel actions.
Key outcomes recorded in the meeting audio and minutes:
- Professional services: Approved professional services by Troy Rhodes and Company for Athletic Campus Phase 1 (track facilities). The motion was moved by a board member and seconded by Palmer; roll-call votes were recorded as affirmative.
- Adjunct teaching positions: The board approved two one‑year adjunct positions to cover (1) middle school creative writing (adjunct certification in English required) and (2) high school English (adjunct certification in English required). The administration said both appointments are for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year and require board approval for certification from the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE).
- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda, which included minutes, contracts and fundraising items. The audio records a roll-call approval.
- Encumbrances and purchase orders: The board approved encumbrance adjustments across funds (general fund, building fund and billing fund) and several purchase orders, including registration fees funded by federal sources for staff conference attendance and a plumbing repair at locker rooms.
- Personnel actions: The board approved employment of employees listed in Addendum A and accepted resignations and retirements listed in Addendum B for the 2024–25 school year.
- Superintendent contract extension: The board approved a contract extension for the superintendent of schools by roll call.
All motions described above were seconded and the meeting audio records roll-call confirmations with board members answering in the affirmative. Where recorded, the board's roll calls show unanimous approval for the motions taken.
Details and next steps
Several approvals were procedural and will be implemented by administration. The adjunct positions require OSDE approval of certification in English; the athletics professional services contract will return with final scope and contract language. The encumbrance approvals move funds between accounts and authorize payment for listed purchase orders.
