BOE Meeting: 11/12/26

Bixby Public Schools Board of Education meeting, November 12, 2026. The board approved a contract with Public Consulting Group LLC for the 2026–27 Oklahoma School-Based Health Services Program, covering Medicaid billing and reimbursement for related-service staff; no contract amount was stated. It also approved a $1,500 Central Elementary author visit with Brenda Meyer, funded by the school’s media center activity account, and a $5,200 agreement with Glenpool Conference Center for the employee banquet. The board approved a memorandum of understanding with Oral Roberts University for concurrent enrollment, discussed potential future on-campus university instruction, and approved changes to the policy governing disposal and sale of real property. A separate proposal for a real-property acquisition policy was not before the board; an administrator said they would look into developing one. The board also considered declaring items surplus, but the transcript does not provide the items or a clear vote outcome.

The board approved changes related to the Lifewise agreement intended to streamline adding volunteers and staff after background checks and address vehicle use. Members discussed whether the changes required a formal contract amendment and alignment with district policy, including the district’s $2 million insurance requirement; they agreed to pursue the proper documentation and discussed a possible special meeting to move the matter forward. A teaching-and-learning presentation described a multi-year secondary grading initiative, including professional development supported by substitute coverage, but no specific procurement or spending vote was identified for that work. The meeting also included staff and student recognition and discussion of grading practices, reassessment, homework, and AI’s effect on instruction.
