The Okmulgee Board of Education voted unanimously Sept. 18 to authorize demolition — or declare surplus and proceed with demolition — of the Okmulgee High School building at 415 W. 3rd Street.
Superintendent LuVona Copeland had presented inspection estimates from Mid-Continental Restoration and Turner Roofing for repairs at the high school. Copeland put architect JT Boynton on speaker phone so board members “could ask him questions and get answers from a professional,” and the board moved to authorize demolition after considering the estimates. Mr. Leroy Parker motioned to approve and Mr. Keith Baldridge seconded; the motion carried with five ayes and no nays.
Board President Mike James presided over the action. The district did not record additional implementation details, funding sources, or a demolition timeline in the meeting minutes; the superintendent was directed to take the necessary steps to implement the demolition. Any permits, contractor selection, or funding approvals beyond the board’s authorization were not specified in the record.
