Waynoka Public School’s Board of Education met Monday night for their regularly scheduled meeting, and though the agenda was lengthy, the meeting only lasted about 15 minutes. All members were present with the exception of Travis George.

Getting down to business, the group approved the consent agenda and moved on to hear Superintendent Scott Cline’s report. Cline said the gym floor project is running a little behind, but is only about two weeks out from being finished. In finances, the superintendent said the school is sitting comfortably, but valuation numbers remain unseen.

Next, High School Principal Dustin Smith gave his report, giving kudos to the two students who placed in the Top 10 nationally during the FCCLA Conference this summer. Smith said 91 students have enrolled for grades 7-12, leaving only a handful left to do so. Teachers and staff returned to the school Monday night, and the principal said everybody was energetic, enthusiastic and looking forward to a great school year.

Next, board members approved the contract for Secondary Career and Technology Education programs for the 2018-2019 school year along with dual enrollment credits in math and science from Northwest Technology for the 2018-2019 school year on the following courses: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, AP statistics, AP biology, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, PLTW Principles of Biomedical Science, PLTW Human Body Systems, and PLTW Biomedical Innovations.

Dual enrollment credits from Northwest Technology Center through Edgenuity, an OSDE approved online curriculum, were approved too.

Board members approved Brooke Meyer as an adjunct instructor for anatomy and physiology for the 2018-2019 school year, and moving along quickly, the group voted approval for American Fidelity Assurance Company to serve as Waynoka Public School Section 125 Plan for the upcoming school year.

Food Procurement Procedures and Practices for the Food Service Program were approved, along with the 1080 school hours, and Internal Attendance Review Committee, all for the 2018-2019 school year. Mentor teachers, Safe School Advisory Committee members, and the Healthy and Fit School Advisory Committee members (for the 2018-2019 school year) were accepted and approved, along with several fundraiser requests.

Upon Cline’s recommendation, members did not convene in executive session, and approved Kristen Harris’ employment as a certified teacher under temporary contract for the 2018-2019 school year and Brian Holland’s employment as lay coach for junior high and high school track for the 2018-2019
