Rich School Board Meeting

RANDOLPH,  Utah.  November 19, 2014. The Rich County School Board held its November meeting at noon.  The meeting was held early in the day in anticipation of attendance by state legislators but due to other commitments the legislators were unable to attend.

The board heard a report from Superintendent Dale Lamborn .  The report recognized 6 students as recipients of academic all state awards.  Lamborn also said that a few students had gone to USU for the academic decathlon but that none had finished in the top 3 on a test where those in the top 3 earned substantial scholarships.

The annual audit report was presented, accepted, and approved.  There were no material deficiencies noted.  The auditor noted that the average cost to educate a student for a year in Utah is $13,000.
Two staff changes were approved, the appointment of Brandon Peart as a special education aide and Pam Cornia as a bus driver.

The board expressed concern about two or three upcoming freshmen athletic events that are scheduled during the school day on Thursday.  Principal Larsen indicated he would reschedule.  Board member Cornia indicated that he did not like the scheduling of the recent football state championship on a Friday, especially at such a distance.  The board recognizes that there are challenges with venue scheduling for such events but thought perhaps it was time to move some of the events to USU, if possible, and even up the year-to-year travelling issues so that northern schools and their families and fans are not always required to do the long-distance movement.

The board went into closed session for the purpose of discussing personnel.
