RANDOLPH, Utah. July 18, 2018. Several staffing changes were discussed at this month’s School Board meeting. It was reported that only head coaching positions have to be advertised while assistant coaching position applicants are forwarded to the principal and then approved by the board. The head wrestling coach position at the middle school has become available and will be posted. The following assistant coaching positions have also become available and recommendations for filling those vacancies were passed by the board: Assistant Girls Volleyball: Breanna Reid. Middle School Assistant Football: Tyson Waterson.
There are a disproportionate number of away games for volleyball and football and the reasons for that were discussed. Apparently, other schools find it cumbersome to travel this far, but it was noted that the schedules alternate every other year in terms of more or less traveling, so it evens out over time. The volleyball and football schedules for both high schools and middle schools were passed.
The student fee schedule has come up for approval with only one change recommended. Currently, students are charged $25 a night for overnight stays in hotels. The recommendation was to change this to $30 a night. Many other school districts charge a hefty fee up front that can be upwards of $500 to cover these and other costs for the year. The staff here do an excellent job of choosing locations with reasonable rates to keep costs to a minimum for students, however, as hotel rates increase, the district needs to also increase the charge to cover the inflation. Board members thought this was a reasonable increase. A vote was issued and passed.
Paragraphs 314.5.4 and 314.5.4.1 were removed from the student retention section of the policy (RTI).
