Board approves two textbook-fund flexibility waivers, denies one
Summary
Under 70 O.S. § 16-114a and 70 O.S. § 16-111(E), the board allowed waivers for the schools listed under agenda items 9A and 9B and denied the waiver for agenda item 9C; motions were recorded as approved unanimously.
The State Board of Education on March 26, 2026, considered requests for flexibility in allocated textbook funds and took both approvals and a denial. Board Member Brian Bobek moved to allow waivers for schools listed under agenda items 9A and 9B and to deny the waiver for the school listed under agenda item 9C; Board Member Ryan Deatherage seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The agenda cites 70 O.S. § 16-114a and 70 O.S. § 16-111(E) for textbook funding flexibility; the minutes record the board's outcomes by agenda reference but do not provide district names or funding amounts for the affected waivers. The board recorded the action as approved for agenda items 9A and 9B and denied for 9C.
