The Ponca City Board of Education voted to renew the contract for the district superintendent after returning from an executive session.

The motion, as stated in the meeting record, was to “renew, the superintendent's contract for a 195 1,000 day salary for a 3 year term.” The board approved the motion by roll call; all five members present voted in favor.

Superintendent Brian (last name not specified in the transcript) had been the subject of the executive-session discussion recorded immediately before the vote. The motion was made and seconded during the open meeting and then carried on a roll-call vote. Board members recorded voting “aye” included Anna Roland, Robin Riley, Nancy Zimmershe (name as recorded in the transcript), Don Newsom (name as recorded in the transcript) and Judy Troop (name as recorded in the transcript).

The board’s clerk kept minutes and a confidential executive-session record, as announced at the meeting. The district did not provide additional contract text, a precise, unambiguous dollar amount in standard formatting, or a copy of the renewed contract during the public portion of the meeting; the exact salary figure as read aloud in the meeting appears in the transcript verbatim but is not formatted or clarified there.

No ancillary changes to district policy or implementation steps were announced at the time of the vote.

The board's vote preserves leadership continuity while the district continues routine operations and planned initiatives discussed earlier in the meeting, including site data reviews and training initiatives.
