Chickasha board approves curriculum and training contracts, routine personnel actions

At its regular meeting the Board of Education for Chickasha Public School District approved multiple contracts and routine personnel actions.

On a motion and roll-call vote the board approved a professional services agreement with Education c 3 LLC to provide curriculum support through the end of the school year. The motion was made and seconded and board members present voted in favor.

The board also approved a Capturing Kids' Hearts training agreement after administrators said site leaders had attended training and would fund much of the work from their site budgets. During discussion a district official characterized the contract cost as an "80 whatever thousand dollar contract" and confirmed some sites planned to cover the expense locally.

Separately, the board approved purchasing TeachTown for transition and life-skills curriculum at middle and high school using funds allocated by the State Department of Education: staff said $6,903 had already been set aside and the classroom resources brought the total to $7,026. Staff reported that their application to the state department was approved within 30 minutes of submission.

The consent agenda — covering routine items including a maintenance surplus, travel requests, renewal of a specialty care pediatrics agreement, and various operational items — was presented and adopted by a single roll-call vote.

The board then moved through personnel items listed on Exhibit A. Members voted to hire listed individuals, approve transfer and reassignment workday adjustments, accept a resignation, and accept three retirements effective the last day of school. The board considered, and declined to enter, an executive session for personnel matters under Oklahoma State Title 25.

All actions recorded in this meeting were taken by motion and roll-call votes; no contested or split votes were recorded in the transcript excerpts provided.
