6. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT: JEFF THOMPSON
Discussion:
Mr. Thompson presented the Superintendent Report. He reports that the Legislative Session is winding down. . The OSSAA is working on a
New Transfer Law for Eligibility, discussion to eliminate/modify property taxes is still being held, and if passes will affect a lot of county organizations including schools. Early Literacy, which will hold students back if not retaining in reading, will take effect in 2027-2028, and extending the school year from 166 days to 173 days will take effect in 2027-2028. The Budget Agreement has been reached, and schools will not know for sure about giving the $2,000.00 teacher pay raise until September. The raise looks like the money will be run through the Funding Formula. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Senator Casey Murdock at Casey.Murdock@oksenate.gov or Representative Mike Dobrinski at Mike.Dobrinski@okhouse.gov. The OSSBA Summer Conference will be held August 13-16. 2026, the School Policy Book is available online, and if any board member would like a copy of it he will put it on a thumb drive for them. He stated the Policy Book has not been looked over in several years, and we can pay the OSSBA to look over it and update it if board wants to. The cost would be $3,500.00 to $5,000.00. He talked about Financial Disclosure Information, and informed board members that he will have their Board Points updated at the June Board Meeting. |
