The board approved the transfer of a Legacy Grant from the Rogers State University Foundation to Rogers State University. They also adopted a new Board Committee Realignment and Leadership Development Framework, which restructured committee assignments. The board approved the general framework for the Executive Director job description and authorized the Director of Finance to post a Request for Proposals on the state staffing portal to solicit an executive search firm.
The board discussed a potential restructuring of the TSET Board Committee structure, ultimately deciding to table the item for a future retreat. Strategic planning reports were presented, covering the review of the FY24-FY26 strategic plan and the development of pillars and outcomes for the FY27-FY29 period. Financial deliberations included reviewing budget-to-actual reports, approving the FY27 Track B Operations Contract Renewals, and passing a revised FY27 budget due to a prior calculation error. Governance discussions focused on initiating the competitive bid process for an executive search firm. The Program Committee reported on various grant activities, including approvals for Track B Program Grant Renewals and the TSET Healthy Incentive Grant School Site Parameters. Additionally, the board approved naming rights proposals for the Chickasaw Foundation and East Central University, and granted an extension for the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center's naming rights plan.
The Board discussed and approved a motion to delay the release of the TSET Capacity Building RFA parameters until after the September board retreat. The Board also entered into an executive session to discuss the resignation of the former Executive Director and the employment and compensation of the interim Executive Director. Following the executive session, the Board approved a severance package for the former Executive Director and a salary increase for the interim Executive Director.
