The board approved a slate of personnel for FY27 at its May 12 meeting. Two Tier II paraprofessionals for Extended School Year, Sandy Lee and Mister Cosby, were approved. The board also approved temporary certified staff pending clear National Criminal History Record Checks: Austin Pickle as Dunbar library media specialist; Corley Snow as Dunbar social studies teacher; Randy Cindle as history teacher; and Faith Sebring as an Okmulgee High School science teacher. Two certified approvals (Corley Snow and Faith Sebring) were carried with Board Member Leroy Parker recorded as a nay on each motion; the other certified hires passed unanimously.
Support staff hires for FY27 — Mark Jackson, Jr. and Dylan Wright — were approved unanimously.
