SILO board votes to employ Kate McDonald as superintendent for 2026–2027
Summary
After an executive session cited under O.S. 25, § 307(B)(1), the SILO Public Schools Board voted to employ Kate McDonald as superintendent for the 2026–2027 school year; the minutes record the executive-session compliance statement and the board's recorded votes.
The SILO Public Schools Board voted on Dec. 8 to employ Kate McDonald as superintendent for the 2026–2027 school year following an executive session that the board cited under O.S. 25, § 307(B)(1). The motion to approve employment is recorded in the minutes as MOTION #3 and the minutes show President Sean Bradley, Vice President Keith Eppler and Member Matt Gamble voting to approve the employment; two trustees, Tabitha Kellam and Chris Cicio, were recorded as absent and did not register votes in the minutes.
President Sean Bradley read an executive-session compliance statement on returning to open session: "The Board met in executive session and no action was taken," the minutes report. The minutes do not include a verbatim transcript of the executive-session discussion; the statutory citation in the agenda indicates the closed session was for personnel matters relating to evaluation, employment, salary and contract terms. The minutes do not list a detailed vote tally beyond the recorded yes votes and the absence of two members.
