The Tulsa Public Schools Board of Education approved a consent agenda Aug. 3 that bundled dozens of contracts, program renewals and amendments, staffing items, and property actions. The consent vote carried 5-0.
Key consent items recorded in the minutes include: closing Project Accept as an accredited elementary site (physical location listed as 1205 West Newton Street, Tulsa, OK 74127); renewal of the College Board agreement to provide AP score reporting for 2026–27; renewal of Xello for implementation of Individual Career and Academic Plans; a Friesens Corporation contract for yearbooks for Will Rogers College Middle and High School; and a co-op agreement under OSSAA for Memorial MS/Thoreau middle school football.
The Financial Services section included an encumbrance report and a contract with Grasshoppers Suzuki Cello LLC for string instruction at eligible private schools. The Board also approved declaring the Lombard Building (Project ACCEPT) at 1202 West Newton Street surplus and acknowledged prior surplus declarations for other properties that remain unsold.
Several instructional-service items were amended with specific dollar increases recorded in the minutes: Imagine Learning multilingual resources increased by $135,000 for FY 2026–27; Ripple Effects, Inc. increased by $14,200; and Really Great Reading instructional resources increased by $225,000. The Board also approved renewals and MOUs for Big Brothers Big Sisters programming, Operation Aware prevention programming, and other student-support contracts.
Why it matters: The consent agenda updates contracts and program budgets used across district schools and begins disposition steps for district-owned properties no longer needed for instructional operations.
