Nearly six years ago, OSSBA and CCOSA first invited education leaders from every corner of the state together for a critical conversation about the future of public education. For two years, this group of Oklahomans scoured research, challenged each other, took a hard look at the strengths and areas for improvement within the state’s public education system, and collectively decided to dream big for children. The result was For the People: A Vision for Oklahoma Public Education. The vision is simple: All Oklahoma public school students will learn in an environment that maximizes their potential and develops them as leaders who will contribute to a meaningful life in a democracy, propelling our state forward into a competitive, global society. The idea is that every community in Oklahoma will find something — and maybe even many things — in the vision to embrace. At its core, this visioning effort is designed to result in a meaningful conversation in every community of our state about how to do better for our children. The recommendations are tied to seven key areas the research committee identified as key in improving student achievement: • • • • • • •
Culture, Climate and Organizational Efficacy Learning, Teaching and Assessing for Student Progress Early and Expanded Learning Opportunities for Student Success Governance, Leadership and Accountability Partnerships for Human Capital and Organizational Development Physical Resources Financial Resources
You’ll notice the sessions for the OSSBA/CCOSA Education Leadership Conference are divided into these seven areas because we want you as education leaders to think strategically about your district’s strengths and areas of improvement as you select which sessions to attend. Currently, OSSBA and CCOSA are working with education leaders throughout the state to refresh For the People and provide updated key recommendations for lawmakers and local school district educators and board members. We can’t wait to share the new vision report and recommendations, which will be ready in early 2019!
Enjoy the conference, and thank you for setting a bold vision for the children in your community!

All–State School Board The OSSBA All–State School Board consists of five of the most outstanding school board members of that year. Considerations for the nominations include demonstrated leadership skills, excellence in boardsmanship, sound decision–making, foresight in planning, consistency in voting, concern for the school system and the taxpayers, and a good working relationship with other board members.
Barbara Lynch Community Partner Award This award was created in honor of Barbara Lynch, who served on the Tulsa Technology Board of Education from 1986 to 2003 and was a member of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association Board of Directors from 1993 to 2003.

All-State School Board and Buddy Spencer Leadership Award Winner Gary Percefull, Tulsa Public Schools Nominated by school board President Suzanne Schreiber
Since 2003, Gary Percefull has consistently served as a force for positive change at Tulsa Public Schools. He keeps an unwavering focus on ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality public education. Percefull is a tireless advocate for not only his constituents in district one, but also for all public education stakeholders in Tulsa. During Percefull’s time on the board, the district has made strides in recruiting community partners to help support students; increased its focus on myriad ways to support and engage students and build positive school cultures; increased graduation rates; and gained substantial community support for capital investment in the district’s schools. He also helped guide the district and community through painful budget shortfalls and the closure/consolidation of schools. Percefull’s contributions extend beyond the board room. He has championed the district’s bike club program, where volunteers encourage engagement, leadership, scholarship and an active and healthy lifestyle. He also routinely volunteers as a school crossing guard at a Tulsa elementary school. “Gary Percefull is an independent thinker who is an invaluable resource for all of the district,” board president Suzanne Schreiber said. “He constantly pushes himself and his fellow board members to critically evaluate our objectives and to not be afraid of change but ‘don’t fix what ain’t broke.’ He has a strong sense of pride in the district and encourages a culture of cooperation and compromise among the board always, always in the name of what’s best for kids.”
All-State School Board
Les Pettitt, Bethany Public Schools Nominated by Superintendent Drew Eichelberger For more than 16 years, Les Pettitt has served the Bethany community as a member of the school board and the state as a committed public education advocate. Pettitt has been a vocal proponent of curriculum innovation and learning activities for students. He was an instrumental part of the planning process that led to the passage of bond projects and capital improvements. That included a bond issue that funded the building of a STEM classroom, and Pettitt took a leadership role in promoting passage of the proposition.
34
His experience has made him a critical resource and guide for his fellow board members and community members. Former Bethany Superintendent Kent Shellenberger described Pettitt as a man of “high character and values” who often attends athletic contests, fine arts events, local education foundation banquets and other school-related activities. Current Superintendent Drew Eichelberger said Pettitt is always there for the students and the district. “Les has always been an advocate for Bethany students,” Eichelberger said. “Each of his votes is focused on what is best for our kids. If he has a concern about an item, he is quick to communicate about that concern before the board meeting. His calm professional approach to even the most controversial of issues is always evident.”
All-State School Board
Cindy Nashert, Norman Public Schools Nominated by school board member Dan Snell Cindy Nashert’s service on the Norman Public Schools board of education adds to a long history of her service to the Norman community.
35
Nashert, a small business owner whose children graduated from the district, was first elected to the Norman board in 2013 after leading the local chamber of commerce and other civic organizations. A key moment in her board service came in 2017 as the district launched its search for a new superintendent. Longtime Norman board member Dr. Dan Snell said Nashert’s distinguished leadership was critical and that she guided the board to consensus about the needs and hopes for the district in the coming years. Nashert also led a team as part of the district’s strategic planning process, giving critical feedback about the “far future and the challenges we face.” “The key aspect of her service is her grasping of the widest possible angle on all problems, not just from the point of view of a business person and taxpayer. She asks insightful questions and regularly fulfills all the formal duties of her office as well as maintaining active communication with her constituents,” Snell said. “In short, Cindy represents the best and most serious boardsmanship I have seen in my 21 years on Norman’s board.”
All-State School Board
Jimmie Jarrell, Stratford Public Schools Nominated by Superintendent Michael Blackburn For more than a dozen years, Jimmie Jarrell has been a highly visible leader and ambassador for Stratford Public Schools. Jarrell first joined the board in 2005, and in the years since, has become known for being a well-prepared board member who is available as needed between meetings. Superintendent Michael Blackburn said he values Jarrell’s relationships in the community and his extensive volunteer work for the school. “He does an amazing job of representing the people of the district while understanding his role in the day-to-day operations of the school. Mr. Jarrell is very respected by the other board members and by the entire staff of Stratford School,” Blackburn said. School board service is just one of the many ways Jarrell has served his community and state. In the early 1980s, he served on then-Gov. George Nigh’s Blue Ribbon Schools Committee. He served for five years as president and CEO of Oklahoma Farmers Union and for nearly two decades on the Garvin County Conservation
36
District Board of Directors.

She was a charter member of the center’s board of education and has never drawn an opponent. Superintendent Max Thomas describes Biehler as a board member who truly cares about the future of the center and views the board as a team. Despite her long-term board service, Biehler regularly attends OSSBA events and is committed to continuing her education through board trainings, he said. “Debbie epitomizes what a board member should be,” Thomas said. Biehler also is active in the community, volunteering at the Omega Food Pantry, the Loyal Lion’s Club and serving as Pastor of the United Methodist Church of Loyal.
Distinguished Service Award
Marilyn Mabrey Sulivant, Green Country Technology Center Nominated by Superintendent Larry Killebrew Green Country Technology Center’s history isn’t complete without recognition of Marilyn Mabrey Sulivant, a founding member of the school’s board of education who has served continuously since 1991. In the words of Superintendent Larry Killebrew: “She helped hire the first superintendent, procure the land, build the buildings and even today continues to work to see that the school continues to run soundly.” Throughout her nearly three decades on the board, she has served as president, vice president, clerk and deputy clerk. And her service isn’t limited to the technology center. Sulivant is an elder at the First Presbyterian Church in Okmulgee, where she also has taught Sunday school and served on various committees. She also helped found the Okmulgee Education Foundation. 37
“If children in the communities need shoes, Marilyn is quick to volunteer. If she hears of a need for the less fortunate, the poor, the down on their luck, the homeless, she is quick to organize and assist with appropriate solutions that continue to give, far beyond the immediate need,” Killebrew said. “I cannot think of anyone with a more giving spirit, anyone who is as willing to lift others up, anyone as quick to get dirty and sweat as Mrs. Marilyn Mabrey Sulivant.”
Barbara Lynch Community Partner Award 4 Kids and Community Inc. Nominated by Perkins-Tryon Public Schools
A local non-profit organization is stepping up for students, teachers and families in the Perkins-Tryon area to reduce learning barriers. 4 Kids and Community was started in 2009 and continues to play a key role in student success. “4 Kids and Community is a vital part of our school and community that works tirelessly throughout the year to improve things that can interfere with students learning at their full potential,” said Perkins-Tryon Superintendent James Ramsey. “They communicate with our local churches and community leaders to ensure they address and meet the needs of the community.”

Students also can receive weekend food bags and holiday food boxes. 4 Kids and Community also provides hygiene kits and sponsors workshops for students, teachers and the community in areas of need, including financial literacy and a poverty simulation seminar to raise community awareness of the challenges facing struggling families. “Without this organization, I am confident the success of our students would be decreased in our school system,” Ramsey said.
Barbara Lynch Community Partner Award The Bridge Church Nominated by Mustang Public Schools
When Mustang Public Schools has found itself in need, the Bridge Church has stepped up repeatedly with time, talent and treasure. The large church campus has hosted end-of-year awards ceremonies and staff development meetings. The district also used church facilities to host multidistrict workshops and conferences and a three-day statewide special education conference. Many week days, youth pastors and other church staff interact with students and staff in Mustang schools during the lunch periods or read to elementary aged kids during class time. Like most Oklahoma public schools, Mustang went through a challenging budget time. Stretched to the limit while trying to protect classrooms, the district was blessed when church leaders voted to purchase a year’s worth of paper for the entire district – a $50,000 value. The next year, the church repeated the donation. “Pastor Jim McNabb and The Bridge Church have been tremendous community partners for the Mustang School District,” former Mustang Superintendent Sean McDaniel wrote in his nomination. “Without them, Mustang would not be the district it is. They have been amazing!”

While serving as superintendent, Mustang was also recognized as a STEM community for the district’s program implementation at all levels. Sean developed several recognition programs to ensure the staff felt inspired and appreciated. It is his belief that if you find great people, establish standards and expectations, and provide adequate training and support, then accountability will follow. He became the Superintendent for Oklahoma City Public Schools in July.

STATEMENT OF ETHICS FOR EDUCATIONAL LEADERS An educational administrator’s professional conduct must conform to an ethical code of behavior, and the code must set high standards for all educational leaders. The educational leader provides professional leadership across the district and also across the community. This responsibility requires the leader to maintain standards of exemplary professional conduct while recognizing that his or her actions will be viewed and appraised by the community, professional associates and students. The educational leader acknowledges that he or she serves the schools and community by providing equal educational opportunities to each and every child. The work of the leader must emphasize accountability and results, increased student achievement, and high expectations for each and every student.
To these ends, the educational leader subscribes to the following statements of standards.
62
The educational leader: 1. Makes the education and well–being of students the fundamental value of all decision making. 2. Fulfills all professional duties with honesty and integrity and always acts in a trustworthy and responsible manner. 3. Supports the principle of due process and protects the civil and human rights of all individuals. 4. Implements local, state and national laws. 5. Advises the school board and implements the board’s policies and administrative rules and regulations. 6. Pursues appropriate measures to correct those laws, policies and regulations that are not consistent with sound educational goals, or that are not in the best interest of children. 7. Avoids using his/her position for personal gain through political, social, religious, economic or other influences. 8. Accepts academic degrees or professional certification only from accredited institutions. 9. Maintains the standards and seeks to improve the effectiveness of the profession through research and continuing professional development. 10. Honors all contracts until fulfillment, release or dissolution mutually agreed upon by all parties. 11. Accepts responsibility and accountability for one’s own actions and behaviors. 12. Commits to serving others above self. ~Adopted by the AASA Governing Board, March 1, 2007
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER CODE OF ETHICS As a member of the board of education, I will: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Remember always that my first and greatest concern must be the educational welfare of all students attending school in our district, and ensuring that they have the opportunity to reach their highest potential; Strive to improve boardsmanship by studying educational issues and participating in board training opportunities;
Respect and obey the laws of Oklahoma and the United States, working to bring about desired changes through policies adopted by the board of education and through legal and ethical procedures;
Formulate legislative goals, policies, and strategic plans for the district, delegating to administrators the administrative functions of the school(s); Recognize that I, as an individual board member, have no legal authority outside the meeting of the board and will take no private action that will compromise the board or administration;
Refrain from board actions locally that would substantially interfere with or injure the program of education elsewhere; Make every effort to be prepared, punctual, and in attendance at every board meeting;
Respect the confidentiality of privileged information and refrain from disclosing information that may be injurious to individuals or the school(s); Encourage the free expression of opinion by all board members and staff, seeking systematic communications between board members and the public inside and outside the school district;
10. Be committed to promoting a cooperative atmosphere in order for the board to effectively serve the students; 11. Recognize and reward excellence in student achievement, teacher performance, and administrative leadership;
12. Refrain from using my board position for personal or partisan gain.
