The Provo City School Board on Sept. 19 approved a series of routine administrative items, including student travel requests, multiple policy updates and LEA-specific teacher licenses, while tabling a facilities purchase and a dance trip.

Student travel: The board approved a View High School cheer trip to Anaheim for a national competition and a Tempe High School drama trip to New York City (conducted after school so students would not miss class). A separate Tempe dance trip to California was tabled because the presenters were not ready.

Policies: The board approved several updated or new policies. Policy 1107 (board leadership) and policy 1109 (oath requirement for other officers) were approved with no recorded opposition. Policy 1108 (duties of the board president) was adopted with language inserted to state that "school board members are required to uphold the constitution of Utah and The United States, which may require them to act in the interest of the state as a whole over local interests"; the wording was moved by Vice President Gina Hales and approved. The board also approved updates to policy 1400 (board meetings) and policy 1450 (boundaries and school closures) with references to current law.

LEA-specific licenses: District staff reported there were a number of teachers assigned to new roles or completing endorsements who required LEA-specific licenses under a new deadline; the board approved these licenses as presented.

Tabled and deferred items: The approval for the Wasatch wall repair purchase request was tabled because the request was not ready; the Tempe dance travel item was also tabled. The board adjourned with its next regular meeting scheduled for Oct. 14.

Vote notes: Nearly all motions in open meeting were approved by voice vote with the transcript reporting "Aye" and that motions "pass[ed] unanimously." The meeting transcript does not record numerical vote tallies.
