Wellston board approves package of 2025–26 contracts and MOUs, including ed‑tech and service vendors
Summary
The board approved a mass motion to adopt multiple contracts and memoranda of understanding for 2025–26—covering instructional vendors (Edmentum/Apex, NoRedInk), elevator monitoring, ParentSquare communications, and outside special‑education providers—by unanimous vote.
The Wellston Board of Education approved a package of memoranda of understanding and contracts for the 2025–26 school year during its June 12 meeting.
On a single motion (moved by Christa Coover, seconded by Tyler Barnes), the board approved items 5.3.1–5.3.9. The approved list included OPSRC (Oklahoma Public School Resource Center), Edmentum (Apex) for district-wide course licenses, a Kickapoo Tribe Behavioral Health MOU, NoRedInk, Allied Elevator (phone monitoring agreement), ParentSquare communications services, a physical-therapy contract with Kelly Curry, a school psychometry contract with Janice Gray, and a school psychologist contract with Teel Oswald. The motion carried 5–0.
Meeting attachments specify contract and invoice details for several vendors: an Edmentum order form listing a $2,880 annual license for Apex Learning Courses (license term 7/1/2025–6/30/2026), a ParentSquare invoice for $6,015.45 covering Smart Sites and Communicate services for 7/1/2025–6/30/2026, and an Allied Elevator phone-monitoring agreement quoting $22.00 per month (discounted to $20 per month if prepaid annually). The approved contracts also include independent-provider agreements with Janice Gray and Teel Oswald that list evaluation fees and terms.
Board approval allows district administrators to complete contracting steps and process invoices during the 2025–26 fiscal year. Several of the contracts involve ongoing annual charges that district staff have encumbered in the FY26 encumbrance register approved elsewhere on the agenda.
