Tomorrow Morrison voters will go to the polls and decide whether or not to pass a bond issue for transportation, technology, facility upgrades, new construction, and facility maintenance for our school district.  These two bond proposals will not increase tax rates, but are replacing old bond issues that are rolling off the tax roll.  We appreciate your support and if you have any questions please email me at lorijustus@morrisonps.com  Please don't forget to vote!

Good afternoon.  I want to share with all you the newly adopted calendar for the 2025-2026 school year.  The process of getting a calendar approved by our board of education took longer this year because we waiting on the Oklahoma State Board of Education to approve our SB441 waiver.  This waiver allows us to have a district calendar that is less than the required 165 days.  We were granted a waiver for 156 days and will have a 4 day week except for the months of November and December.  We are no longer able to count virtual days as instructional days, so we will be in regularly scheduled classes on Monday November 3, November 10, November 17, December 1, December 8, and December 15.  Our daily schedule will remain the same on those days.  We are excited that our waiver was approved and look forward to next year.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning.  There was some questions asked last week about the upcoming bond issue, so I would like to take the opportunity to share some additional information about the May 13th bond election for Morrison Public Schools.  

1. How much money is allocated to each bond proposition?  Proposition 1 (Transportation Bond) - $780,000 and Proposition 2 (Facility Upgrades/New Construction, Technology Improvements/Facility Maintenance Bond) - $1,070,000.
2. What upgrades are being considered for the Will Miller gymnasium?  The bleachers need to have hand rails added, the gym floor needs to be refinished,  and the scoreboard needs to be fixed.

We appreciate the questions and emails that are being sent in regards to the upcoming bond election.  This is our chance to invest in improvements for our district that will not raise taxes if approved.  Don't forget to get out and vote on May 13, 2025 to support our students.
