RANDOLPH, Utah. April 19, 2017. Principal Kip Motta said that it was often difficult to
collect the middle school fees. There is
a fee of $25 for books and supplies. That
is the fee that parents sometimes do not pay.
They do pay the $40 computer fee which provides students with IPads. Motta suggested that they combine the two
fees into one and call it a middle school fee.
Motta also said that they would like to get more parents at
back to school night. Last year only
three people came to the meeting and two of them were teachers who were also
parents. Motta thinks there needs to be
an incentive. If people come to the Back
to School night the middle school fee would then be $20 less. There are a lot of issues the parents need to
know about. For example there are issues
with texting and disturbing apps that are dangerous to the students. Parents need to be educated.
High School Principal Rick Larson said that there will be a
new teacher, Erin Worthlin, who taught four years at Syracruse Middle School
and has a master’s degree in social studies will replace Miss Kennedy. Worthlin
is from Montpelier originally.
Jackie Soltes has
been hired to be the assistant volleyball coach. Cody Lundgren the coach for
girl’s golf. Boys’ basketball head
coach will be Zach Mckee with Jordan Mckee as assistant coach.
The Middle School will play football and volley ball which
makes a conflict for wrestling because of change of season so that job needs to
be posted.
Principal Kip Motta said that they have finished interviews
for two elementary school teachers. Katy
Hoffman and Frank Smith have been hired.
Hoffman comes from Evanston and Smith has taught seven years in Lyman,
Wyoming. Hoffman comes in as a 5th
year teacher. Smith has a master’s
degree and Hoffman is currently working on a master’s degree.
The next board meeting will be May 17. The 2018 budget will
be available then.
