District overview
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
Tulsa Public Schools is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education. The public agendas show the Board considering district budgets, bond-related planning, policies, staffing and capital work; without public minutes, they do not establish which listed items were completed.
The district describes its Board of Education as seven elected community leaders serving four-year terms.
The Diligent calendar listed 32 published Regular and Special Board meetings in the reviewed year.
A March 10, 2026 Board agenda identifies Dr. Ebony Johnson as superintendent; the reviewed record does not give a start date.
Agendas describe matters planned for discussion or action, but the associated minute/PDF records were marked nonpublic in the current official response.
An agenda is useful evidence of what the Board planned to consider, but it is not evidence that the Board adopted an item or that work occurred.
The June 1 agenda listed a preliminary 2026-27 budget and financing plan with estimated all-funds revenue of $817,351,565 and expenditures of $749,280,213. The June 15 agenda listed an edit to that preliminary budget. The reviewed agendas do not establish final adoption.
All appropriated district funds
Amounts are agenda-described estimates, not audited actuals or verified final adoption.
Agendas in the reviewed year list bond-related election, financing, construction, architect, and construction-management items. They establish planned Board consideration, not final bond issuance, election results, contract awards, or project completion.
General-obligation bond planning described in agendas
The agenda record does not establish the final financing amount or outcome.
Tulsa, OK · $609,000,000
Tulsa Public Schools reported that voters approved all four 2026 bond propositions on April 7, 2026. The district said the measure will invest $609 million in student opportunities, learning environments and safety, technology, and transportation.
This overview uses 32 public Board agenda records for meetings held from September 22, 2025 through September 8, 2026. It distinguishes agenda items from completed actions because the official meeting-record response marks associated minutes and PDF records nonpublic.
We read every agenda, packet, and set of minutes, and write up the decisions that affect families — each one linked to the document it came from.
