RANDOLPH, Utah.  March 19, 2014.  Becky Thomson and Jaden and Ashley Rex requested an opportunity to speak with the School Board in a closed session.  It was suggested that the administrators also leave the closed session to allow these individuals to express their concerns openly. 

The public was given an opportunity to give comments on a couple of proposed calendars for the next school years.  As a result of their input, a third option was made available.  It would have the teachers at the school August 18-19 with the students coming on the 20, 21, and 22 (which is a Friday).  The October 16 (UEA Day) would be used as a regular school day.  This suggestion would allow school to be out by Memorial Day and would give those individual who work with the County Fair to have that time available to them.

Since this was a compromise between the other two proposed calendars, the board requested that Superintendent Lamborn put this proposal out on the web site and give the public one more opportunity for input into next year’s calendar.  The decision can then be made next month.

Three students from Rich High School received recognitions of Academic All-state.  McKay Jarman and Kaden Bartlamay were chosen from the basketball area and Dakota Clark from wrestling.

The Utah Athletic Association will be holding a meeting March 26.  Lamborn noted that there will be a representative from our school district there.  They will be discussing the possibility of having six classifications in all of the athletic areas instead of just football.

Bridgerland will have their next meeting in April.  The Legislature gave them $500,000 for program improvement and another $200,000 for salary increases.  Apparently there had been no employee raises there for a long time.

April Board Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 15, at 6:00 p.m.
