CareerTech board approves employment termination motion and raises executive director’s salary to $175,340

The Oklahoma CareerTech Board took two personnel actions at its Jan. 18 meeting: it approved a motion to terminate employment for an individual recommended by agency leadership, and after holding a closed executive-session performance review, it approved a salary adjustment for the executive director.

On agenda item 4.05, agency leadership presented a recommendation to terminate an individual’s employment and offered the board the option to discuss the matter further in executive session. The board proceeded with a motion to terminate, the motion was seconded, and the item passed on a roll-call vote.

Separately, under agenda item 4.06 the board moved into executive session to conduct the executive director’s annual performance review. After reconvening in open session, a board member moved to raise the director’s salary to $175,340 — described on the record as the maximum under the applicable pay band and tied to the director’s one-year anniversary — the motion was seconded and the roll-call vote passed unanimously.

The meeting record shows the board handled the termination as a formal motion and used an executive session for the performance review before approving the salary adjustment. The transcript does not include detailed personnel files or the name of the person whose employment was terminated beyond the public motion and vote recorded in open session. The board indicated ongoing oversight and follow-up for personnel and compensation matters.
