The Muldrow Board of Education convened for a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. on March 13, in the Administration/ Cafetorium building on the high school campus. The primary agenda item was to discuss and interview candidates for the position of superintendent of schools for the 2025-26 school year.

Board members present for the meeting included Darrin Phelps, Darin Huggins, Colby Wilson, Dowen Green, and Chad Sutton.

The meeting began with a roll call, confirming a quorum was present. Shortly after, the board moved into Executive Session at 6:32 p.m. to interview candidates for the superintendent position. This session, conducted in private, was authorized under Title 25 O.S. Section 307 (B-1), which allows boards to meet privately to discuss personnel matters.

After over an hour of deliberations and interviews, the board reconvened at 8:05 p.m. Board President Darrin Phelps confirmed that the executive session had been conducted as per the agenda. No further details on the candidate interviews were disclosed.

The meeting was adjourned shortly after at 8:07 p.m. As the search for a new superintendent continues, the Muldrow Board of Education will likely review their findings in subsequent meetings to make a final decision for the upcoming school year.

For now, the school community awaits the announcement of who will take the helm as the next leader of Muldrow Public Schools.
