RANDOLPH, Utah. April 19, 2017. Board member Monte Weston asked about state trust lands. Each school has their own community council. There are nine people on the South Rich Elementary and eight at North Rich Elementary
council who decide how the state lands
money is spent at the school. The principal,
parents and staff are represented with two more parents than faculty
members.
The councils decide where they want the money and priorities
for each elementary school. Board member
Bryce Huefner said is it hard to get parents involved even though it is an
important group. Principal Kip Motta
agreed saying most people don’t want more meetings but about $45-60,000 is available for each school. It does seem that smaller districts have
trouble getting people to be involved.
State trust lands monies have grown every year. Sales of state lands revenue are going up
with a 30% increase this year. Weston
said that he was concerned that “We are not making more land and sometimes one
sale makes money but then future monies won’t be there.
There were four plans for each of the Rich County schools
and all were approved.
