Midfield School District amendment approved by Oklahoma County excise board

The Oklahoma County Excise Board on July 22 approved a second amendment to Midfield School District I-52's budget and financing plan for FY 2025-26. The packet lists a total appropriated funds figure of $174,870,693 and shows adjustments including an increase to the district's sinking fund.

Board members and staff reviewed a spreadsheet attachment that compared amendment 1 and amendment 2 and noted the most material change was the sinking fund increasing from about $18 million to $22 million. "The amendment 2 would change ... from 18,000,000 to 22,000,000," a committee member said while pointing to the packet. The board approved the amendment by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally.

Staff said the amendment corrects prior-year entries and adjusts specific fund lines; members asked for the attachment to be included with the decision materials to make the change traceable in the county record. The board's approval implements the changes included in the district's amendment as filed with the county clerk.
