“ Addressing the Board

  • Individuals or delegations who wish to address the board concerning an item on the agenda may do so by calling Raquel at 801-354-7426.
  • Board meetings will be held on the second Wednesday of the month (subject to change—check district website for updates).
  • The individuals will be allowed three (3) minutes to make remarks.
  • As a reminder, there are certain topics and issues listed in the guidelines and procedures that are more appropriately addressed through alternative forums or procedures.
  • Please understand that the public comment period is not a debate, an interactive question/answer session, or a dispute resolution forum, but is an opportunity for you to express your comments, suggestions, and concerns to the Board for our information and consideration.
  • The Utah Open Meeting Law prohibits the board from taking action on items that do not appear on the agenda.
  • Individuals are asked to conduct themselves and present their comments in a respectful and courteous manner.

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[9]
