During the recent Board of Education meeting held in Bixby, Oklahoma, significant decisions were made that will enhance student activities and support educational initiatives. The board approved the establishment of new activity fund accounts for both West Intermediate Robotics and East Elementary Art, signaling a commitment to fostering creativity and innovation among students.

The board unanimously voted to create an activity fund for West Intermediate Robotics, which has been successfully running under the guidance of Ms. Frable. This initiative aims to expand the program through fundraising efforts, allowing students to engage more deeply in robotics and related activities.

Similarly, the board approved an activity fund for East Elementary, proposed by Julie Corrales, to support art supplies and other resources for students. This decision reflects the board's dedication to enriching the educational experience in the arts.

In addition to these approvals, the board conducted a first reading of a proposed new policy regarding released time courses. While no action was taken, this discussion indicates ongoing efforts to review and potentially update educational policies in response to community inquiries.

These decisions highlight the board's proactive approach to enhancing educational opportunities and supporting student engagement in extracurricular activities. As these initiatives move forward, they are expected to have a positive impact on the students and the broader community.
