Rich School Board Meeting

RANDOLPH, Utah. March 20, 2013.  All parents of students attending Rich County Schools were sent three alternative calendars for next school year.  Mr. Kip Motta reported that the majority giving feedback on the suggested calendars preferred calendar A.  Mr. Larsen also reported that those responding to him had also selected calendar A.    A motion made and passed by the Board to accept calendar A for the coming school year. 

Superintendent Dale Lamborn met with a committee representing all classified personnel.  They made changes from days to hours in Section 700 of their policies.  Since Rich County Schools have been using a four-day work week, no comparisons can be made to others schools.  The word “contract” was also removed and exchanged for “term of employment.”  No major policy changes were made.  A motion was made and passed to accept the changes that were made. 

The Cyber Bullying Policy was discussed at the last meeting.  This policy is significant and different from most of the policies.  It deals with the students whether they are at school, on the busses, or participating in the social media area.  The law requires schools to become involved even if it seems to spill over into student home life.  This issue must be addressed.  A speaker is going to be brought in to talk with the teachers and students about bullying, but the policy needs to be in place prior to that activity.  The Board ratified this policy No. 302. 

Alisa Petersen was selected to the All State Girls First Basket Ball Team. 

The state legislature funded Bridgerland enough that they can increase their program and give some raises to their employees. 

The next board meeting will be held Tuesday, April 16..
