Development News from the latest meeting
Sand Springs Public Schools - Board of Education Meeting - July 2026
Published: Jul 3, 2026
21st Century Program Future Uncertain Pending Grant Approval
The board was informed about the status of the 21st Century Program, with the last day of the program occurring the previous week. The success of a grant application is crucial for continuing the program at Garfield and Northwood. The Angus Limestone program is entering its fourth year. Additionally, a grant application has been filed for the Northwood and Garfield locations, with a positive outlook for success [cite: 488-509].
New and Revised Policies Address Child Find, Mental Health, and School Year Eligibility
Several policies are being presented for approval: a child find policy, updates to the mental health crisis protocol, and extended school year program eligibility standards. The child find policy, while not legally mandated, is deemed prudent to ensure proper identification of children who may qualify for disability services. The other policy changes are required due to legal updates [cite: 1108-1130].
District Prioritizes Preventative Drug Program with 'No Gotcha' Approach
The district is implementing a preventative drug program, with research being conducted by Ryan Bivven in collaboration with Providence. The focus is on prevention rather than just enforcement, aiming to discourage drug and gummy use on campus. Bold messaging will be used to emphasize that marijuana and gummies have no place in schools [cite: 609-632].
Board Approves Amendment to Grant Agreement
The board approved a first amendment to a grant agreement. Details regarding the specific grant or its purpose were not elaborated upon in this section of the transcript, but the approval signifies a formal step in the grant process [cite: 1317-1325].
Personal Leave Policy Expansion and Clarification Proposed
The board is being asked to approve the addition of one more personal leave day for both certified and support staff, with adjustments for 10 and 12-month contracts. Additionally, a restricted leave policy is being clarified, which is similar to personal leave. The district is also aligning its 'emergency days' terminology with other districts' 'briefment' days, noting the total number of days remains comparable. This change is partly inspired by a teacher's experience with the old personal leave policy [cite: 119-149].
