The principal also highlighted recent student and team recognitions: members of the FFA placed as an overall runner-up team at the state FFA competition; the district received an OSSA academic achievement award for a Chiefs football team with a team GPA at or above the standard noted in the packet; several football players were named to first- and second-team all-conference and all-star lists; and two students were selected for the 8-man all-star game. The principal invited the community to the Cherokee Invitational Basketball Tournament beginning Thursday and noted there will be no school on Friday, Jan. 10.

Staff informed the board that fifth-grade teacher Kirsten Harrison resigned prior to the holiday break and will not return; the district said replacements and grade-level coverage have been arranged for the rest of the school year. The business office and superintendent reported that overall fund balances remain steady but that gross production revenue has declined in recent months; county tax receipts arrived in December and in a subsequent check, and administrators said they will monitor revenue and constrain nonessential spending while planning staffing for next year.

On operations, the superintendent said weather-related closure decisions are made with safety as the priority, often after driving local roads and consulting area superintendents; the district uses an app and an automated all-call/text system to notify families of closures.

No disciplinary or legal matters were reported in the principal's or superintendent's reports at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cherokee School Board meeting 1 6 25","oneSentenceSummary","The principal told the Cherokee Board of Education the elementary fundraiser raised about $7,500 and staff received K20 Center-funded professional development; she also listed student athletic and FFA honors and noted a teacher resignation.","taxTitle","Cherokee Public Schools, School Districts, Oklahoma","taxId",78463,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6350032,"Cherokee Board approves 2025-26 calendar, transfer limits, 1,080-hour method and superintendent-evaluation program; consent agenda passes",387,34990,422010,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2235180-e333e15a1a808c9118ba106969d48253&start=34&end=422","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2235180-e333e15a1a808c9118ba106969d48253/thumbnail_34990.jpg","/articles/6350032/Oklahoma/Cherokee-Board-approves-2025-26-calendar-transfer-limits-1080-hour-method-and-superintendent-evaluation-program-consent-agenda-passes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6350032-18b04448436b8b34d48be95dc16721c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770917080&Signature=Vw4LysS4UUj~ua-FA3Xx73mwPobtF8nthz4ve04vHWWCOgbr8PAEjZf~ACW62Ex5r69lSGnWhoiTOJiwsQPdqokkZdWdbgVH~GvGCz0v6b4LDet1oFGZd0J2okitUeuwgxn-O9zz7M-W~secGKabK92c2~G1Ka2oZowNl~zTV2LnMBqkUjskjj7dasCxA2V0ElZpeS2ybTzy~-Wu4JrikXDX~aJJajLZLWkGXQcRCg78oruuAKzXseTTBD2Eg9yJCATtxbJAU6puVPKW34dOfnRY19hdyJWN22713DwqDhxnQY3A~CPHTOJATPhvEtXPUlD3A9pwGbaOs6wi5Ih6HQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cherokee Board of Education voted to approve its consent agenda and several administrative items during its meeting, including the 2025-26 school calendar, continued use of the 1,080-hour method for counting instructional time, new student transfer capacity limits and formal adoption of the OSSBA superintendent evaluation program.

Board members approved the consent agenda, which the superintendent said included routine encumbrances and purchases. Items noted in the packet included a $5,430 purchase from AC Services for a backup motor for the elementary school's geothermal HVAC system; a $325 payment to Preventive Test LLC for additional campus spraying; and child-nutrition expenses with Keystone Food Services. The consent materials also included a resignation letter from fifth-grade teacher Kirsten Harrison.

Board members discussed and approved a quarterly update to student-transfer capacity numbers; the district's stated intent is to limit incoming transfers at this time to protect class sizes, while students who move into the district continue to be admitted. The board approved the full 2025-26 school-year calendar, which matches most dates from the current year, sets the first day of school in August and the final student day on May 14 with May 15 as a professional development day and graduation. Trustees also voted to continue using the 1,080-hour method for the 2025-26 school year when reporting calendar hours to the state. Finally, the board voted to adopt the OSSBA superintendent evaluation program, following a training session held at a prior special meeting.

Votes and roll calls on the record indicated unanimous approval on the motions taken at the meeting.

The board packet and comments from staff flagged the district's need to watch revenue: the treasurer reported all fund balances remain steady but noted that gross production revenue has declined in recent months and that the district will monitor expenditures and staffing as budget planning begins. The superintendent and staff said county tax collections arrived in December and in a subsequent check received by the district.

No ordinances or multi-year contracts requiring separate public hearings were taken up during the meeting.

The board closed routine business and moved on to reports from building leadership.","The Cherokee Board of Education approved the district's 2025-26 school calendar, continued use of the 1,080-hour method, set student transfer capacity limits and adopted the OSSBA superintendent evaluation program.
