Discussion and vote to approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Bartlesville Public Schools Board of Education and the Bartlesville Education Classified Personnel Organization (BEPCO) authorizing Support Staff Emergency Leave
Rationale:
The purpose of this MOU is to provide additional emergency leave to Bartlesville Public Schools support employees so they will not experience a loss of benefits and compensation during the COVID-19 school closure. An emergency day will be provided to each support employee for every non-working day during the school closure, as long as the school closure is mandated by the state Board of Education or the Board. A "non-working day" is defined as each day that a support employee is not called to work during the school closure to perform essential duties. The Superintendent shall have the authority to determine which duties are essential and which employees are necessary to carry out those duties. The leave will be non-cumulative and will have no cash value, if not utilized.

Adopt a resolution rescinding that part of the previous election resolution adopted by the Board of Education on October 21, 2019 (agenda item VII.B) calling a general election for Election District Number Six for Tuesday, April 7, 2020, and rescheduling the general election for Election District Number Six to Tuesday, June 30, 2020
Rationale:
On March 18, 2020, the Secretary of the Oklahoma State Election Board issued a Declaration of Election Emergency pursuant to Title 26, Section 22- 101 of the Oklahoma Statutes, declaring that an election emergency exists in all counties in Oklahoma, including Washington County, due to the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and finding that such emergency circumstances could make substantial compliance with state and federal election laws impossible or unreasonable, or could disrupt voter registration, voting, the tabulation of votes or the certification of election results. For this reason, the Oklahoma State Election Board authorized the governing body of any public body that called an election for Tuesday, April 7, 2020, to pass a resolution rescinding that election date and rescheduling the election to June 30, 2020.
