RANDOLPH, Utah. January 16, 2013.  Peter C. Cornia was sworn into office on the School Board by Brandi Johnson, the District’s Business Administrator.  He was re-elected to the School Board in November.  Johnson also swore in Scott D. Savie who was elected in the November election and is new to the School Board. 

Pete Cornia was the Vice President of the School Board, by board member approval, was moved into the position of President.  Tammie Calder was made the Vice President for the next two years. 

A home school request was approved by the Board. 

The salary and wages policy was worked on and approved last year.  However, some suggestions had been made that salaries be paid monthly instead of bi-monthly.  It was noted, however, that a change in the payroll schedule couldn’t be implemented until new contracts were given out.  This item will be handled at that time. 

Travel reimbursements for two-day tournaments and workshops were ratified by the board. 

It was noted that a letter had been received from the State for School Finances.  They had found Rich School District in compliance with state laws.  The audit was clean, and the office was commended for doing such a good job. 

Mr. Larsen reported that decisions concerning athletic regions and who will be included in them will be made on the 24^th of the month.   

A Day on the Hill will be held January 31.  This is a time when board members can meet with their legislatures and find out some of the bills that will be presented in the current legislative sessions.  Dale Lamborn, superintendent, asked if any of the board members would like to go.  He noted they would be welcome to ride with him.  They would just need to let him know. 

Lamborn told the board that every Friday morning at 7:30 there is a meeting in Salt Lake City of the joint legislative committees.  Anyone can attend those meetings.  He noted that he tries to attend any of the meetings that deal with rural issues.  Again, if any of the board members would like to attend, they would be welcome to ride with him.
