Board administers treasurer oath, accepts resignation and notes upcoming retirement
Summary
Hannah Acosta was sworn in as district treasurer; the board approved Janet Barnes’s resignation and the superintendent announced the upcoming retirement of a long‑serving employee, Missus Massey.
The board administered the oath of office to Hannah Acosta, who will serve as treasurer for Bethany Public Schools. During the oath Acosta repeated a pledge to "faithfully perform the duties of treasurer of Bethany Public Schools Independent School District 88" and to obey the laws of the United States and Oklahoma.
Later in the meeting the board considered personnel items. After returning from executive session (entered at 6:46 p.m. and exited at 7:24 p.m.), the board approved the resignation of Janet Barnes, elementary media assistant, effective Dec. 1, 2025; the motion carried on roll call (transcript records include affirmative votes from Ryder and Palmer among others).
In the superintendent’s report the superintendent thanked Janet Barnes for 21 years of service and noted that Missus Massey has filed for retirement effective in December after 17 years in payroll/benefits and other support roles; administrators credited Massey with training multiple staff during transitions and said the district will keep continuity plans in place.
No additional personnel actions were recorded at the meeting beyond the oath and the resignation vote.
