A district staff member recommended terminating the contract after reviewing expected versus realized savings. The presenter said some of the savings that had been anticipated when the contract was adjusted in December were not realized and that there have been “some other concerns,” adding that termination was in the district’s best interest.

Board members asked whether the district would replace the vendor or manage energy work internally. Staff replied the district retains a long‑standing energy-management team that can maintain the gains and that Synergistics primarily had provided early consultation and baseline recommendations. The presenter said attorneys had reviewed potential termination liabilities and the district was “in a good position” to end the contract without significant penalty.

The board discussed ongoing and planned improvements tied to the district bond, including LED lighting and HVAC work. One board member noted the district’s energy usage per square foot was low relative to peers, citing a prior 2021 review as context for ongoing marginal gains.

The motion to decline renewal passed by unanimous recorded vote: Dr. Daniel — aye; Miss Grant — aye; President Standridge — aye.","The school board voted to not renew the district's contract with Synergistics after staff reported the anticipated savings were not realized and district attorneys advised cancellation risk was low; board members praised the district's in‑house energy team and noted prior gains.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6512525,"Midwest City-Del City board adopts student cell‑phone restriction to comply with Senate Bill 139",213,194000,407000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5108064-d0d3df6ce91ac58fc8bae4608d271116&start=194&end=407","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5108064-d0d3df6ce91ac58fc8bae4608d271116/thumbnail_194000.jpg","/articles/6512525/Oklahoma/Midwest-City-Del-City-board-adopts-student-cellphone-restriction-to-comply-with-Senate-Bill-139","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6512525-848c8a1dc17969b134ba47e14640fe5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771050525&Signature=jR7n4xgDP-yp3XbTzsazLjw7BdVO3IU0rSUkyr08Ti-BrbsV6V6SqenkK5N6MvtslVZkpm2ongOEERCCj6NZcobnR1MkJuAqKzRma52qaSkDVCfgPCJr1v4KzkA2Qe7KS-Q-2GhmgJKwSj40ZJnrSc62NvbnzvQdaGooQmYDx~D8INmvtOhnmbpIzAP1h9vt76XixCCCC-Gs802RahJxI2iINW9USUksUEr6Ceq-ME3Fh3mOFbMlzYQdoPOGxbj2-KYieRKiTWufu4sTXI89q-003ZSwrT9ufh46~9ffncEHtfa4C8uot-A-yb1wEuWMonveWV77h6qbVNk2tlxskw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Midwest City-Del City School Board on a unanimous vote approved a revision to policy J-17 on student use of cell phones and personal electronics to comply with Senate Bill 139.

The policy change, presented by a district staff member, requires that “no electronics, cell phones, or any electronics that connect to Wi Fi” be used from the first bell to the last bell. The presenter said the state law “asked that we give consequences, but it did not tell us what those consequences were,” leaving specifics of discipline to district policy.

Board members and staff discussed practical enforcement and parent communication. Board member Miss Grant asked whether students would be allowed to keep phones in backpacks and whether the district was prepared for the expected increase in violations. A staff member noted the district will secure phones turned in for violations in a locked area in the main office and that initial weeks might be difficult: \"I think we are. And I think we have to be prepared for it to be difficult,\" the staff member said.

Staff described the district’s planned outreach once the board approved the policy: an ad campaign using text messages, social media and paper notices when students arrive. Miss Boyer, the staff member tasked with implementation, said outreach would begin immediately after board approval.

Board members also discussed grant options that could fund phone storage hardware but noted some grants require a three‑year commitment; the board said Senate Bill 139 requires compliance for at least one year before reevaluation.

The board’s vote was recorded as unanimous: Dr. Daniel — aye; Miss Grant — aye; President Standridge — aye. The motion to adopt policy J-17 passed and staff were directed to begin the planned communications and implementation steps.","The Midwest City-Del City School Board approved a revision to policy J-17 to implement a districtwide ban on student use of cell phones and other Wi‑Fi–connected devices during school bell times to comply with Senate Bill 139; the board and staff discussed enforcement, parental notification and initial implementation challenges.","actionData","errors"]
