Fate of house behind High School 

Discussion around removal of the house and options of uses, ie. parking. Some concerns about risers that may be in area and could be a hazard. Bring back as Business Item in the next board meeting. 

Business Items

Hanksville 5^th Grade Students.

Discussion - Students that live in Hanksville need to be with kids own age. Currently one 6^th grader and one 5^th grader in Hanksville. Concerns around issues around riding on the bus. Possible solutions might be to assigning seats to LES/WMS kids. Consideration of using LES as school of recognition for app WCSD. Consideration of addressing the issue on a case-by-case basis. Size of class, by year, may be the issue to address, especially when class size may merit the need for a second teacher in Hanksville. Moving the student on a blanket basis may be premature. Potential for growth in community, but  Parents need to be involved in the decision and determined in consultation with parents and administration of HES/LES before the year begins. Start Times are being adjusted to allow kids some extra time at home. Potential for a better learning environment for kids in Hanksville. Curtis made a motion to move on. Second by Jim. Passes Unanimous
