May 10, 2021 at 6:00 PM - Regular Meeting of the Board of Education
COVID-19 and Social Distancing - In light of the emphasis on social distancing in locations where individuals gather, every effort will be made to arrange the meeting room in a manner that allows room for distancing; nevertheless, individuals are encouraged to be cautious and expected to wear face coverings. Individuals with a temperature of 100.4 or above should consider avoiding the meeting. The Norman School District will live-stream this meeting for those that may not be able to physically attend the school board meeting. State law does not require physical board meetings to be broadcast to the community. However, we believe that transparency is important and during this time of COVID-19 we will continue to live-stream meetings at https://tinyurl.com/npsboe2020. Board meetings will be recorded and archived.

V.J. Renewal of the lease-purchase for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, as required under the provisions of the Sublease Agreement dated June 1, 2019, by and between the District and the Cleveland County Educational Facilities Authority
Agenda Item Type:
Consent Item
Additional information to be listed on the agenda:
On June 5, 2019, the Cleveland County Educational Facilities Authority (the "Authority") completed the issuance of $117,550,000 Lease Revenue Bonds on behalf of the Norman Public Schools. As a requirement of the Lease Revenue Bond issuance, the School District agreed to lease certain of its property to the Authority during the six year term of the Lease Revenue Bonds. In addition, the School District has agreed to sublease the same property from the Authority so that the School District can operate the facilities during the lease term and to complete the improvements authorized by the voters at the February 12, 2019 bond election. The Sublease Agreement dated June 1, 2019, and executed by the School District requires that the lease-purchase be renewed annually by the School District during the term of the Lease Revenue Bonds. Non-renewal of the lease-purchase by the School District is considered an "event of default" under the terms of the 2019 Lease Revenue Bonds.
