Board meetings and strategic plans from Southern Oklahoma Technology Center
SouthernTech's 2025 Strategic Plan prioritizes student success (improving enrollment, certification, completion, and placement by 10% annually), organizational excellence (recruiting, retaining, and supporting staff through improved internal processes), and fiscal responsibility (maximizing resources to adapt program offerings). The plan includes initiatives such as innovative student engagement efforts, establishing internal standards and processes, and maximizing carry-forward funds. The plan also highlights partnerships, such as the MSC Nursing Partnership, to provide students with more educational options and preferred placement opportunities.
The Board of Education meeting included the Superintendent's report, which covered COVID-19 updates, supervisor training, new evening classes, and the potential for a new Long-Term Care Professional Program. Administrative reports included updates on Love County activities and the "Estimate of Needs" for 2020-2021. A financial report on oil and gas revenue was also presented. The Board approved financial reports, budget amendments, policy revisions (including safety programs, personnel policies, attendance, student policies, and curriculum and instruction), committees for 2020-2021, and several personnel actions, including a new extra duty contract and a staff reassignment.
The board meeting agenda includes financial reports and recommendations, audit committee reports, requests for travel reimbursements, and the approval of the previous meeting minutes.
