Midwest City-Del City Schools took significant steps towards enhancing educational resources and operational efficiency during their recent board meeting on April 15, 2025. A key highlight was the unanimous approval of a contract with Jenkins and Kemper for independent audit services, marking the fifth consecutive year of collaboration with the firm. Board members expressed satisfaction with the audit process, emphasizing the valuable feedback received that aids in continuous improvement.

In another pivotal decision, the board voted to terminate its contract with Omni, the current third-party vendor managing 403(b) plans, due to outdated practices and poor customer service. The transition to PlanServe, through American Fidelity, is expected to streamline services and improve employee access to investment information, with the added benefit of reducing costs for vendors.

The board also approved a lease for ten maintenance vehicles, aimed at modernizing an aging fleet that averages over 15 years. This strategic move is designed to enhance operational efficiency while providing flexibility in vehicle management.

Additionally, the meeting saw the approval of the Middale Summer Academy and Summer Feeding Program, which will support students in credit recovery and provide essential nutrition during the summer months. The board also approved a memorandum of agreement with the United States Air Force, further strengthening community ties.

These decisions reflect the district's commitment to improving educational outcomes and operational effectiveness, setting a positive trajectory for the upcoming school year.
