# BOE Meeting: 8/13/26

The Bixby Public Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on August 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included approval of a contract amendment with Oak Trust Development to extend the closing deadline for a property purchase, renewal of a contract with Steven L. Smith Corporation for the fiscal year 2026-2027, and approval of an agreement with Geoc for safety and 911 call location services at a cost of $7,150 annually. The board also approved a financial sponsorship agreement with Mabry Bank related to athletic department activities and discussed the use of corporate credit cards to streamline purchasing processes. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved various policy revisions affecting student discipline, child abuse reporting, and family educational rights, which could influence future procurement and operational practices. Budget discussions highlighted a significant 17% increase in assessed property values, positively impacting local tax revenues but resulting in a reduction of state aid by approximately $2 million. The meeting also covered updates on technology use policies, AI tool integration in classrooms, and emergency response protocols, though these were not directly tied to procurement decisions.
