Kingfisher Public Schools is expected to have another record carryover in the general fund.

The district’s board of education met Monday in the final meeting of the 2021-22 fiscal year.

The treasurer’s report given to board members stated the balance as of June 30 is expected to be more than $14.5 million. That number a year ago was $13.7 million.

The report was part of a meeting in which board members handled a number of routine business actions to close out the fiscal year and make preparations for the new one, which starts July 1.

All board members – Jim Perdue, Charles Walker, Carly Franks, Terry Payne and Dana Golbek – were present.

Although his official start date isn’t until July 1, new Superintendent David Glover was also on hand to answer any board questions.

Dr. Daniel Craig, whose last day is June 30 as he’s accepted a position at Chisholm Trail Technology Center, was not at the meeting.

Glover told board members he was still in search for a new athletic and operations director, which was the role for which he was originally hired by the district earlier this year.

Glover was later hired as superintendent after Craig’s resignation.

He told board members he had multiple interviews for the open position later this week and was also still searching for a new wrestling coach.

In action items on the agenda, board members approved the following:

• Requesting state and/ or federal funds for supplemental appropriations of $360,290.53 for the co-op fund;

• Opening an activity sub-account for the Class of 2027;

• The stated purposes for each of the individual sub-accounts in the district;
