Board approves resignation and hires, with two teacher hires pending certification

The board approved the resignation of Miss Hogan Smith and voted to hire Miss Howell, Miss Rose and Coach Tyler Perry after returning from an executive session, with two teaching hires explicitly conditioned on pending certification.

The move followed an executive session the clerk said had been held "to discuss personnel items" under "title 25 Oklahoma statute section 307(b)(1)." The clerk added that Superintendent Mr. Heckler and Coach Hayes were present for the closed discussion and that "the board did not take any action, returned to open session at 12:21PM."

At the request of the clerk, the board considered a motion "to approve the resignation of Miss Hogan Smith, and then also to hire Miss Howell, Miss Rose, and Coach Tyler Perry." The Chair made the motion and asked that the hires for the FACS teacher and the head boys basketball coach be treated as "pending certification." The Chair also seconded the motion, after which the clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative votes that carried the motion.

The personnel motion, as stated on the record, included the resignation and the three hires and the explicit proviso that certification remain pending for the two teacher positions. No other formal actions from the executive session were reported on the record.

With the personnel matter resolved under the stated condition of pending certification, the clerk asked if any other business remained; none was raised. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn and corresponding roll-call confirmations.
