Kingfisher Public Schools is apparently close to filling the teaching voids left in the alternative education program.

The board of education on Monday will vote on two new hires for Yellowjacket Academy when it holds its regular June meeting at 7 p.m.

Lynn Barnett, who has led the program since 2000, announced her retirement earlier this year. Vickie Allen is also retiring from the academy.

Part of this month’s agenda is to hire two alternative education teachers.

Other hires on the agenda include an English teacher at the high school and a special education teacher at the middle school.

The board will also act on a number of annual fundraiser requests including those for band, Business Professionals of America, baseball, cheer, Class of 2022, FFA, football, Gilmour Elementary students, Gilmour and Heritage PTO, Heritage faculty, Heritage library, Heritage music, Heritage and Gilmour students, KHS faculty and students, KHS Photography, KHS Student Council, KMS students and vocal.

Annual contracts with Big Five, OSAG and OSSBA will also be put before board members.

Also on the agenda are items to approve KPS being the lead fiscal agents for the 2020-21 Title III Consortium and declaring computers as surplus.
