The Bethany Public Schools Board of Education appointed Morgan Reinhart to vacant board seat number 3 and administered the oath of office during the meeting.
“I, Morgan Reinhart…that I will faithfully perform the duties of member of the board of education of independent school district number 88 of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma,” Reinhart recited when taking the oath.
Earlier in the meeting staff presented routine business on the consent agenda and financial reports. A finance staff member told the board the federal "2025 compliance supplement"—guidance used for single audits—has been delayed, likely because of a federal shutdown, and explained the district's single audit is not required to be completed until March 31. "So we've got plenty of time," the staff member said regarding the delayed guidance and audit timeline.
The board approved the consent agenda by roll call. Items listed on the consent agenda included approval of the Oct. 15, 2025 regular meeting minutes; several out‑of‑town/out‑of‑state overnight trips for January and December 2026 (All‑State events and coaches meetings); additions to activity fund accounts; and routine financial reports.
The board also approved several purchase orders discussed under Item 7. Staff described PO #347 to Next Level Flooring for refinishing the high‑school gym floor and the elementary gym (about $5,750), scheduled to start the Monday of Thanksgiving break to allow curing time. A separate PO (#361) for a NookPod for the high school (about $5,000) was presented; staff and teachers described the pod as a movable, partially enclosed study space with noise‑attenuating technology, charging and a whiteboard to support special‑services and focused study. Another PO (#16) to R and R General Contracting for about $4,720 was presented to update a shop door and add a crash bar as identified in the fire marshal’s inspection; facilities staff said recent code‑related repairs have totaled roughly $40,000 over the past two to three years.
The board took formal votes to approve the consent agenda and the listed encumbrances and purchase orders; roll‑call voting recorded affirmative responses from board members present.
The meeting’s actions were procedural approvals and a new board appointment; staff will return to budgeting and future planning discussions (including any funding for elevated bleachers) at a later date.
