The Muskogee Public Schools Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included supplemental appropriations, purchase orders over $15,000, two contracts and scheduled a $6,825,000 general obligation building fund bond sale for March 11.

During the board’s business session, district finance staff presented comparative fund reports and sought board approval for items labeled 6A through 6J in the agenda packet. A motion to approve items 6A through 6J carried after a motion and second; the meeting record shows the board voice vote as “Aye” and the chair declared the motion approved.

Finance staff noted January general‑fund revenue was higher than the prior year due to timing differences and said they expect month‑to‑month comparisons to normalize. The presentation showed building fund and child nutrition fund expenditures and encumbrances; staff said the operating account is in the black and that no seeking fund payments were made last month. The agenda packet also included purchase orders and contract summaries (examples: Republic for dumpster service; fleet fuel purchases; a concrete services PO of about $18,000 included in a bid recommendation).

The board approved two contracts referenced in the packet: a no‑cost arrangement with Muskogee County Head Start and a Department of Human Services (DHS) item authorizing half the salary for an additional school‑based social worker to be paid from Title I. The agenda item language indicated the DHS payment would pay part of the social worker’s salary out of Title I funds.

On the bonds item, the board adopted a resolution determining maturities and set the date, time and place for the sale of $6,825,000 in general obligation building fund bonds; the sale was set for March 11 at 5:30 p.m. in accordance with standard annual debt sales to meet district obligations. The board also approved a designation of a district representative to cast votes or act on behalf of the district for the Oklahoma School Assurance Board when needed.
