During the Washington County School District working session on April 23, 2018, board members and staff reported that 15 students districtwide walked out on Friday, April 20. District staff said nine of those students were from Pine View Middle School. According to the discussion, five of the students returned to school and four did not return.

A staff member described a separate incident at an elementary school that arose on that date and said it was linked to 4/20-related activity (references in the transcript include cannabis/marijuana and national '2/20 memorial references such as Columbine). The staff member said the matter arose at the elementary level and that more information would be provided in an open session or in a follow-up conversation with board members.

Board members and staff noted that Utah state law treats cannabis-related incidents differently than some neighboring states, and one participant remarked that differences in state law can affect how incidents are handled. The transcript records an intention to follow up and provide an update in a future open session; no formal disciplinary actions, policies, or citations were recorded in the working-session transcript.

No formal motion or vote was taken on the student walkout or the elementary-school incident during the working session.
