Emily Case seconded and the motion passed. The board also voted to authorize the superintendent to apply to the Oklahoma State Department of Education for 3+ year Emergency Certifications for eligible employees (noting Alicia Gibson), and approved Stephanie Tanner to teach high-school STEM (Science - Aeronautics) as an adjunct teacher for the year. Each action passed on unanimous recorded votes of the members present.
