RANDOLPH, Utah. January 15, 2014.  After hearing from Legislator Mel Brown, the Board went into executive session. 

 

Joey and Kamille Trujillo were next on the agenda.  They requested hard copies of the policies used by the Rich County School District.  They indicated they did not have enough money to have the internet and asked for hard copies of the policies.  They specifically asked for the Privacy and Disclosure Policy for all students.  They wanted a copy of the Disciplinary Policy to see how punishments are determined and to see if there is equality for all students or if is done on a case by case basis.  They also wanted to know if there was a policy for parents—in other words when does the school act in place of the parents on certain decisions.  They also wanted a copy of the drug testing policy and grievance policy.  Superintendent Dale Lamborn said he would run copies and they could pick them up the next day by noon. 

The Board members had attended a convention and reported on the sessions they had attended.  The majority of the Board Members had learned a great deal and was glad that they had been able to attend the various meetings and workshops. 

The meeting for next month was pushed back a week and will be held February 26.
