Okmulgee board approves $146,000 superintendent salary for 2026–27 after executive session
Summary
After two executive sessions, the Okmulgee Board of Education approved a $146,000 salary for Superintendent LuVona Copeland for the 2026–2027 school year. The vote followed statutory-authorized closed sessions and returned-to-open-session motions recorded on Jan. 13, 2026.
The Okmulgee Board of Education approved a pay increase for Superintendent LuVona Copeland to $146,000 for the 2026–2027 school year following an executive session held under Title 25, Section 307(B)(1) and (7) of the Oklahoma Statutes.
Board members moved into a closed session at 6:08 PM to consider the superintendent's contract and returned to open session at 7:10 PM. "The board approved a pay increase for the Superintendent to $146,000.00 for the 2026-2027 school year," motioned by Leroy Parker and seconded by Vickie Jones; the motion carried with all five members voting aye.
The action was taken after the board read the statutory compliance statement required when returning from executive session. The meeting minutes record the vote as unanimous; no additional conditions or implementation timeline for the contract were listed in the minutes.
