The Waynoka Public Schools board approved a combined consent agenda and adopted a recommendation to keep the district's student transfer capacity at 20, then approved hiring an adjunct elementary teacher pending a background check.
Board procedure: Chair introduced Item 4, noting multiple items would be approved by a single vote unless a board member requested separate consideration. The consent agenda motion was moved, seconded and carried by the board.
Student transfer capacity: "Right now our capacity is at 20 and I recommend we just keep that where it is," said Speaker 1 during discussion of student transfer policy. A motion to adopt the 20-student capacity was made (recorded as moved by John and seconded by Travis). The board voted to approve the recommendation.
Personnel action: The board considered employing an adjunct teacher for six elementary periods for the remainder of the 2025'1026 school year. Speaker 1 recommended hiring Caitlin Weatherill, "pending background check," and said she would start in January after the Christmas break. The motion to hire was moved and seconded (the transcript records a second by Travis); the board approved the hire pending the successful background check.
Votes and procedure: Motions were made and seconded on the record (the transcript records "Motion by John" and "Second by Travis" for the student transfer item). The board recorded affirmative votes on the actions taken. The meeting concluded with no new business and adjournment.
What happens next: The adjunct hire is expressly contingent on a background check; the board indicated the new hire would begin in January after winter break. The transfer-cap policy will remain in effect until the board amends it at a future meeting.
