State Board approves alternative-education waivers for four districts
Summary
The Oklahoma State Board of Education approved statutory waivers allowing Marlow, Maysville, Middleberg and Woodland public schools to operate their own alternative-education programs despite small student counts under 70 O.S. § 1210.568; the motion passed unanimously.
The Oklahoma State Board of Education on May 21 approved statutory waivers under 70 O.S. § 1210.568 that permit districts with fewer than 10 alternative-education students to operate their own programs rather than join a cooperative. Board Member Brian Bobek moved to approve requests from Marlow, Maysville, Middleberg and Woodland public schools; Board Member Ryan Deatherage seconded and the motion carried with unanimous recorded yes votes.
Board members did not record conditions or amendments to the approvals in the minutes. The approvals appear as part of the board’s regular administrative agenda; no public comments or dissenting votes are recorded in the meeting minutes. The board’s action removes the immediate requirement for the named districts to enter cooperative agreements based solely on small alternative-education enrollments.
