‘MIDYEAR ALLOCATION’ GRADE: F
Arrow was cut slightly above $5 million. Owasso Schools was cut slightly above $2.6 million. Bixby was cut roughly $1.8 million and Tulsa Public Schools’ was cut around $8.8 million.
Schools was cut $5.6 million. Norman Schools’ was cut $4 million.
That is State of Oklahoma aid money to these aforementioned school districts that was projected back in the summer.
As troubling as those numbers are, we haven’t even gotten to the part that will turn your stomach.
NO MORE EXCUSES … OKLAHOMA’S SCHOOL FUNDING PROBLEM NEEDS FIXED NOW
It’s not just a Tulsa-area problem either.

We all like to talk about the importance of schools. We like to say we value our children and the education they receive. Sure, saying those things makes us feel good when we are standing by the water cooler visiting with our co-workers or when we go out to the mailbox and talk to our neighbors across the street.

Mustang was cut just under $3 million and Yukon Public Schools’ was cut $1.9 million.
Did you know that the virtual charter schools are not receiving any cuts to their “Midyear Allocation” funding? Not only are they not being cut, like most school districts across the state, they are benefiting in a massive way. CONT on pg 4...
However, for most of us, the train stops there. All talk, no action. For myself, that stops right now. As I sat and listened Monday at the January Board of Education Meeting, Jenks Public Schools Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Cody Way gave an update on the “Midyear Allocation” from the State of Oklahoma. What he said was not only stunning it was borderline disturbing. Allow me to show you some numbers from the State of Oklahoma’s “Midyear Allocation” to its 549 school districts. Jenks Public Schools’ “Midyear Allocation” was cut nearly $2.7 million. Union Public Schools’ was cut nearly $3 million. Broken

IT ’S ALL ABOU T CONNEC TIONS
THANK YOU, JENKS SCHOOL BOARD By Eric Fox, Jenks High School Associate Principal Did you know Children’s Dental Health Month is coming up in February? Not many shopping days left! It makes sense that Children’s Dental Health Month is February to keep it separated from National Candy Month, which we all remember being in June. Did you know that June 6, 2021 is Yo-Yo Day? If not, just look how much you’ve already learned since you started reading this column. One month that is definitely important in recognition of selfless community service is January which serves as National School Board Recognition Month. According to the Oklahoma State School Boards Association, School Board Recognition Month “...honors the efforts of thousands of men and women who help to shape the direction of Oklahoma public education and their collective focus
In a 2018 survey of school board members across the nation, the National School Board Association found the average length of service of a board member is eight years and close to 2/3 of them received no compensation for their efforts. Most school boards meet twice a month and 53% of respondents said they spent from 7-24 hours per week on board matters. More than 50% said their motivation for participating as a board member was “To ensure that our children’s schools are the best they can be.” Twenty-two percent said their top reason for serving was, “To give back to my community.” Those are studentcentered and community focused motives for sure. Our school board met on Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. and the minutes reported, “After a thorough discussion…” the board voted to buy a radio for the school. It was a “16 tube #R.P. 16 Phonograph from the MidWest Radio Corporation” in Cincinnati, Ohio. That was in 1932. I guess the discussion was so thorough they didn’t get all the business taken care of so on the 24th, they met to approve the salaries for the month which totaled $3441.71 and ranged from $8 to $200 for the superintendent, Chancey C. Moore. Our school board members deal with much larger budgets obviously and more complex issues than the purchase of a phonograph. (Yes, some of you will need to google an image for that). Our board members, Melissa Abdo, Ron Barber, Chuck Forbes, Terry Keeling and Tracy
Kennedy, have helped lead the district through the addition of a new school site, redistricting, the review of data on school start times, statewide teacher demonstrations, historic flooding and now a pandemic that is approaching a year in its direct impact on students, staff and our community. Our board is comprised entirely of volunteers who not only serve the district in this capacity but also work in a variety of clubs, school sites and organizations like PTA, booster clubs and even legislative advocacy. I can’t estimate the number of hours that our board members devote to our students, staff and community. Like the 1932 board they have to engage in thorough discussions, and like other public servants, there are times when people agree with their decisions and times when they disagree. In the quarter of a century I’ve worked in Jenks, I’ve never met a board member in our community who was demanding of their own agenda or not thinking through the lens of what’s best for our kids. In the quarter of a century I’ve worked in public education in this state, I know that is not something to be taken for granted or that happens everywhere. So, hold off on planning for National Children’s Dentistry Month for a few more weeks and please consider recognizing community members who are serving our students through their efforts on the Jenks School Board and school boards across our state and nation. It seems obvious your work not only serves to preserve the core of our democratic values but also to model them. Thank you Ms. Abdo, Mr. Barber, Mr. Forbes, Mr. Keeling and Ms. Kennedy. What you do is important and seen.

LE T ’S TALK ENRICHMENT
By Sarah Clavin I might be dating myself here, but every year when the kids head back to school, I think of the song by Pink Floyd (quite possibly the only one I know) “We don’t need no education…” I know you know it too, so read it like you mean it, “We don’t need NO. ED-U-CATION.” Although the tune is quite catchy, I believe the opposite to be true. In fact, according to Ben Franklin, “an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. And I have to say, I agree. But for you bookworms out there (myself included), it is not just textbook knowledge that will fully and wholly develop you, but rather knowledge and experience in a plethora of genres; music, sports, dance, theater, languages, and the list goes on and on. So, let’s get straight to the point here, now that our kids and maybe even ourselves are back to school, let’s talk about a few types of activities that exist here in Jenks that we can include in our education enrichment process. Music I think Plato phrased it best when he said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Research shows us that listening to or playing music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory. Science also shows us that playing and listening to music enhances reading and literacy skills, reasoning, and mathematical abilities. I don’t know if you’ve ever played piano (or any instrument for that matter) but keeping on beat to those 8 and 16 count notes, challenged my brain in ways classroom work could not. Here is a quick reference for just a few places Music lessons are offered here in Jenks: Anthem Road Academy – 113 E Main St Jenks Community Education Center – 205 E B St Dance/Gymnastics I heard it once said that “dance uplifts the soul,” and were I to have a little more rhythm and a little less social inhibition (introverts unite!) I might nod my head and say, yep, I agree with that one too. Although my soul is typically uplifted with a lot of coffee, a little ice cream and a good book, I have seen first-hand the benefits of learning to dance in my children. I started both my girls in ballet class around age 3, and I watched as they played games and sang silly songs while inadvertently improving their gross motor skills (balance, skipping, jumping). Furthermore, I noticed an improvement in their counting (back to the beats of the music), memorization skills, and social skills. Similarly, gymnastics is a fantastic activity to help improve balance and coordination, flexibility, discipline, and strength development. Plus, gymnastics is an incredible gateway to activities like; pom, cheer, tumbling, and color guard. Here is a quick reference for just a few places that offer dance and gymnastics here in Jenks: SOCO gymnastics – 237 S Franklin Ave Jenks Dance Academy – 9416 S Elwood Ave Swimming While many consider swimming a seasonal activity, the reality is there are physical and intellectual benefits from swimming yearround. Does the opportunity to swim outdoors decrease as the weather gets cooler, sure. But the water doesn’t just disappear with the cooler temps. Drowning knows no season, and it doesn’t discriminate its victims, based on personal experiences, I KNOW this to be true. So why opt to swim during the School Year? For starters, swimming is a uniquely bi-lateral sport, which means it works both sides of the brain simultaneously, which expands cerebral communication, resulting in heightened cognition and increased ease of learning. In 2009 a four-year Early Years Swimming Research Project in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States found that children under the age of five involved in swim lessons are more advanced in their cognitive and physical development than their non-swimming peers. And then in 2011, researchers in Melbourne, Australia determined that children who were taught to swim by 5 years of age had statistically higher IQs. BOOM. We haven’t even touched on the safety aspect of a continuous swim education by staying constantly prepared for any type of water situation, any time of year. Ironically, swimming also incorporates rhythm (just like music and dance) which can be found in rhythmic breathing, the alternating pull and push of the water, and the pace and tempo of the strokes. Here is a quick reference for just a few places that offer swimming lessons for all ages here in Jenks: Miller Swim School – 525 W 91st St S Jenks Aquatic Center – 205 E B St.
SCHOOL BUDGE T - CONT FROM PG 1... Epic One on One Charter received a hike of nearly $93 million. Epic Blended Learning Charter received just under $63 million. Yes, between the two Epic virtual charter schools, they are receiving more than $150 million in the “Midyear Allocation”. Oklahoma Virtual Charter Academy received a raise of around $6.4 million and E School Virtual received a hike of roughly $4.4 million. In June of 2020, Jenks Public Schools approved the budget for this fiscal year, the district projected a $2.5 million reduction in state aid for fiscal year 2020-2021 based on the legislative appropriation. However, the state aid allocation has been reduced by $4.065 million with the latest cut at mid-year. Schools like Jenks are seeing their state aid allocations being cut by millions of dollars, while the virtual charters make bank off the state. Why is this happening, you ask? The State of Oklahoma is using a formula that was created before virtual charters were in existence and they are taking advantage of the system. “Currently, those students in a virtual platform, receive the same weights in our state aid formula as students in a brick-andmortar environment,” Way said Monday after the School Board meeting. “They (virtual charter schools) don’t have the same cost structure. Those weights are supposed to identify cost to educate a specific subgroup. We also provide our students transportation, we feed our students, and we have extracurricular activities. In a brick-and-mortar setting, there a lot more costs between facilities, the upkeep, insurance, etc.” There are those that would argue it is cheaper to educate virtually and that is what every school district should move toward in the future. However, what are we putting the value on here when that statement is made? Do we want the cheapest way to educate our students or do we want the most effective way to educate our students? “That money is there to educate our students,” Way said. “What is the best use for tax-payer dollars? It’s not there for people to make a profit. That money is there to educate students. Their (virtual charters) cost structure is a lot less, but they are funded using the exact same method as other schools. It is taking a lot of funding away from brick-and-mortar schools.” Jenks Public Schools is expected to receive an estimated amount from the stimulus package recently approved by congress between $4.4 million to $4.5 million, which will be used over the course of the next two and half years. Superintendent Dr. Stacey Butterfield said that money won’t solve every financial issue the district might run into in the coming months. “We are going to have to align our expenditures with the revenue,” Butterfield said after Monday’s meeting. “Keeping in mind, we set our budget back in July and yet here we are. I don’t want to sound the alarm, we hope to avoid reducing personnel, but that is where this Cares Act money is so important because it is going to help fill some of these gaps. The formula needs to be adjusted to reflect today’s educational system. As our educational system has evolved, our funding formula needs to evolve as well.”
The enrichment programs we choose for ourselves and our children are going to pay long term dividends and will supply the added value and quality of life we look for outside of the classroom and textbooks.

JENKS PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ONG BAT T LE GAS LEAK AT MIDDLE SCHOOL
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jenks Public Schools has made virtual learning an option for all its secondary students. However, due to a gas leak at Jenks Middle School, all Jenks Public Schools’ seventh and eighth grade students have been forced into distance learning since Nov. 13.
The school district sent out an emailed letter to all parents and guardians of Jenks Middle School students this past weekend after another failed test last Friday at hands of Oklahoma Natural Gas. The letter was written by Jenks Public Schools’ Superintendent Dr. Stacey Butterfield and Jenks Middle School Site Principal Dr. Nick Brown. This is what the letter said: “We share your frustration concerning the gas outage at Jenks Middle School. This issue has taken far too long to resolve. We desperately want our students back in the building for in-person learning, and we know how difficult this has been on our students and families. This situation ranks as one of the most frustrating maintenance issues the district has faced. The repair is taking much longer than expected due to the sheer size of the Middle School and the degree of difficulty involved in passing a final pressure test. The contractor began working to identify the leak(s) on Nov. 12. Unfortunately, with JMS being the largest single building in the district, there are miles of gas lines running under and inside the building. These lines are in the slab of the building, mechanical closets, walls, classrooms, science labs, restrooms, cafeteria, offices, etc. Please understand, this is not simply one small leak isolated to one area. There has been a series of micro-leaks throughout the building. Some of these micro-leaks are extremely hard to locate. Every time the gas lines are pressurized to ready the system for a test, additional micro-leaks can be created. Those leaks must be located and repaired before the system can be pressurized again. This cycle of locating, fixing, and testing has been going on for several weeks. Once the gas lines are fully pressurized, all it takes is a drop in pressure of 1/100th of a pound to fail the test. For safety reasons, Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG) has a zero-tolerance policy. We were hopeful students could return to JMS on Monday, but last week, an ONG pressure test failed. More repairs followed and ONG conducted another pressure check which narrowly failed late in the day on Friday.
This is by no means the first gas leak JPS has faced. Our district has dealt with these issues in the past, but no one ever dreamed we would run into the complexity of challenges, frustrations, and costs associated with this issue at the Middle School. The timing of this “winter leak” creates different challenges as well. If the building were without heat for only a couple of days, the classrooms could return to a comfortable temperature in a short period of time. However, now that the heat has been turned off for several weeks, it will take much longer to warm the entire building. On average, the building temperature hovers around 55 degrees. Classrooms and offices range from the upper 40s to low 50s in the morning. Classrooms located on the north side of each wing warm up much slower than classrooms on the south side due to the position of the sun. In listening to parent concerns about the disconnect between home and school because of the pandemic and gas outage, this week, Middle School teachers will begin sending regularly scheduled team newsletters for families. These newsletters will highlight ways that parents can help support their students during distance learning and will provide tips for using the browser-based Canvas platform to monitor student coursework. Site and district staff members will continue to identify learning gaps created by distance learning during the pandemic and the additional three weeks away from school due to the gas leak. These gaps will be addressed using a variety of tools and strategies available for online and inperson instruction. We are committed to doing everything in our power to welcome students back on Tuesday following the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday on Monday.” The Jenks Tribune will continue to update this story as it progresses.

JENKS JUNIOR LAUREN CONKLING RECOGNIZED BY SCHOOL BOARD AF TER BEING NAMED TOP SOLO DANCER
By Kyle Salomon Not only does Jenks Public Schools boast the top dance team with its pom squad, but the district also has the top individual dancer in the state. Jenks High School junior pom member Lauren Conkling won first place in the Solo Dance Competition last month at the OSDTDA State Dance Competition. “It was really special and exciting,” Conkling said. “We competed virtually this year, so it was a little different. It was on a livestream, so I was with my family and it was really fun. It was such a surprise, and it was really exciting. I will definitely be competing again next year. I will do my best and see what happens again.” Every Jenks pom squad from grade school up to high school won a state championship in their division. “As a team, we all work really hard together and our team dynamic is really great, so it is special for all of us to come together to win that award,” Conkling said.
CIENNA ONIWA IS HEADED TO THE BEACH
Jenks High School senior volleyball player Cienna Oniwa signed a letter of intent Wednesday morning to play college volleyball at West Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida. Why she chose West Palm Beach Atlantic University: “The top of my list was academics. They have a great nursing program that I want to get into. The coach is definitely someone who will push me and challenge me and will be a good mentor throughout the whole time I am there.” How Jenks has helped her prepare for the next level: “Being at Jenks has made me compete so hard and now I know I can compete at that next level as well. Every workout and every practice brought me one step closer to what my goal is.”
