At a May 18 special session, the Pittsburg County Excise Board unanimously approved temporary appropriations for Quinton Public Schools and Indianola Public Schools for fiscal year 2026-2027; routine agenda and minutes also were approved and there were no public comments.
Pittsburg County Excise Board Chairman Matt McGowan presided over a special session on May 18, 2026, at the County Clerk's Office in the county courthouse, where the board unanimously approved temporary appropriations for two school districts for the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
The board approved the posted agenda — which had been posted May 15, 2026 at 8:42 a.m. — following a motion by Candido Echelle and a second from Randy Crone. Echelle then moved to approve the minutes of the regular May 4, 2026 meeting; Crone seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
On agenda item I-17, Echelle moved to approve temporary appropriations for Quinton Public Schools for fiscal year 2026-2027; Crone seconded. The motion passed with all members voting AYE: Chairman Matt McGowan, Randy Crone and Candido Echelle. The transcript records the board's approval but does not list the appropriation amounts.
