Committee facility plan to get EPS board review
The plans for Enid Public Schools and its facility problems will be discussed once again during a regular meeting of Enid Public School Board of Education Monday at 6:30 p.m. at Coolidge Elementary School.
“We’re going to talk about the recommendations that the community committee made to the board, the details of that plan,” said Amber Graham Fitzgerald, EPS director of community relations.
Fitzgerald also said the board will discuss a timeline for possibly calling a bond issue.
A committee of community members recently recommended the EPS Board of Education call a bond issue in order to accommodate the district’s overcrowding issue and bring aging facilities up do date. The cost of the committee’s recommendations is estimated to be between $71 million and $75 million.
The meeting agenda does not call for a decision concerning a bond issue.
Aside from its routine agenda the board also will recess to executive session to continue contract negotiations with ESPO, Enid’s support personnel organization.
The board also will vote to approve or disapprove the employment of Tracy Lewis, Charity F. Digby, Kane Batchelder, Satara Brown, Michael Custer, Rose Nabu and Mona Wright.
