Business Administrator Devin Daley told the board the schedules show what fees would look like under the new legislation if it passes and what would remain if only last year’s law is applied.

Daley said the primary aim of both approaches is to limit required fees and preserve options for fee waivers so students can participate without paying. He said the district removed a general required fee that previously appeared at elementary and secondary levels and that fundraising had been treated as a fee in prior reports but is no longer reported as a fee under last year’s law.

Board members asked how maximums are set for some travel and program fees. Daley said maximums differ by program and school based on planned activities and travel distances; the maximum is an upper cap that would only be charged if a school chooses to run that activity or travel. Board member Melanie Hall pressed for more detail on specific programs and costs; staff added a spreadsheet with spend plans to the meeting materials and said they would post the material on the district website in coming days.

The board did not vote on the fee schedules; the superintendent said the item will return for approval at the board’s second meeting in March to allow board members time to ask specific questions of coaches and teachers and for the public to review the posted spreadsheets.","The board discussed proposed school-fee schedules tied to state legislation and reviewed provisions on extracurricular fees, supply fees for art classes, instrument rentals and school clothing; the board will not finalize fees until its second March meeting.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6311324,"Parents urge board to keep Amelia Earhart principal as district announces several administrator reassignments",2027,159000,2186000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2396284-bd9b5483ce30b83fef9f6262df14bc25&start=159&end=2186","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2396284-bd9b5483ce30b83fef9f6262df14bc25/thumbnail_159000.jpg","/articles/6311324/Utah/Parents-urge-board-to-keep-Amelia-Earhart-principal-as-district-announces-several-administrator-reassignments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6311324-2b88399a0b6f08543c15e298ee0dd035/orig.mp4?Expires=1770950366&Signature=AgWS5SFeZo3gewDW5f-B16GakrkzcXWPtjD5KwjL128-b~2xc7yGRpGa560ErXeagNfi5r6Ub-Eh6xPyKAAi5fzW~x-MGhxcV~q8tUjav0yIKoz8zf0g1KxN9bbmMFDyZaKVWt520pkBDysaJOTq9wiJfG~vjRk~Fbs06bMh4iiKnDv3nZfDIjL0pwyiwI7sMhXsyDO4TMYA9uTm7VWpfVCo0W7lbOHDspKqm7-9ceLdIGjgtBGkq3avgxIla2yfsDjCKghTggYgeI674WHg2WPa-t0hhI9L~qDj1tJUOrhUdfUGEVnsQr2x8RYK5L29Z1X0vLBhImTSi-8lE9TioQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several parents told the Provo City School District Board of Education on Feb. 20 that recent personnel reassignments announced by the district have unsettled school communities, singling out the planned transfer of Amelia Earhart Elementary principal Ryan McCarty.

Cammy Larson, who said she lives in the Amelia Earhart boundary, asked the board “please not move Ryan McCarty” and described him as a stabilizing presence for a Title I school where she said at least 40% of students live in poverty. Larson said McCarty “knows each of the over 400 students’ names” and that teachers and families rely on him. She said the announcement of his reassignment came “out of nowhere” and that parents and staff feel anxious and concerned about losing established leadership.

Brent Hutchison, a Franklin neighborhood parent and PTA officer, raised related concerns about an email announcing leadership changes that he said used “unclear and, at times, inaccurate language.” Hutchison said Franklin has made progress since it was designated a school in need of improvement in 2021 and that he worries the recent reassignments will produce a “cascading effect” on teacher retention and student supports.

Superintendent Wendy Dow addressed the public comments later in the meeting and explained the district’s personnel process. Dow said the district considers multiple factors and prioritizes students’ needs when making administrative assignments. She said many staffing conversations occur in closed sessions because they involve personnel matters. Dow announced several administrative assignments and new hires and invited the public to meet some incoming leaders at the end of the meeting.

Among the administrative changes she announced were: Nate Edelson as special education director; Mark Burge as principal at Canyon Crest Elementary; Deanna Lee as assistant principal at Rock Canyon; Ryan McCarty moving to Provo Peaks as principal; Brian Mangum to Lakeview (assistant principal); Brooke Ann Dalby to Franklin Elementary (principal) with Jeanette Marrera as assistant principal; Patricia Blanton to Amelia Earhart (principal); Brandon Dorothy to Sunset View (assistant principal); Shawn Edwards to Centennial Bridal (principal) with Teresa Tovar as assistant principal; Suzanne Parker to Provo High (assistant principal); Jason Benson to Tempe View High (assistant principal); and Becky Robinson to a district specialist role in Science and Social Studies.

Larson said some parents have been contacting area board representative Terry McCabe and asked board members to take parents’ emails “seriously.” Dow said the district would follow normal personnel notification and transition processes and that some details remain personnel matters handled in closed session.","Two parents spoke at public comment urging the board not to move Ryan McCarty from Amelia Earhart Elementary; the superintendent announced multiple administrative assignments across the district, citing closed-session personnel discussions.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6311328,"Provo School Board approves $70 million lease revenue bonds to finish Tempe View and start Dixon planning",749,615000,1364000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2396284-bd9b5483ce30b83fef9f6262df14bc25&start=615&end=1364","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2396284-bd9b5483ce30b83fef9f6262df14bc25/thumbnail_615000.jpg","/articles/6311328/Utah/Provo-School-Board-approves-70-million-lease-revenue-bonds-to-finish-Tempe-View-and-start-Dixon-planning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6311328-a3341cd0f63ef1ff2b83042e106932cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770950366&Signature=dx770ZpuZcUiP~asq0n9ca~6kMXIzoz976xbnzN16W8ak1QEH6xJJA48XspkqrfuUM9mahXPWWWwXrp1t-VjwUexIrNi4QzGEB1C5P4vAZVFO~c~e-EtbHgl7BVXU5LvS7CNncA6qTJg7JOO7l0urhw5hOsk0cStazGAwuYKkQNNyZ7VeOysy3xIrNFcC0t5w3Igi9snnWcsH28ip94IN4XtmirO9oOO3p43DcIXYDHsC8aio8VAXVmx3W7R78LhdNEIvCMhNUChEWN6FzHQ0bA7Mz5AW65PAppA7EFB~KXZmMtink9Wt7QL4lo56OHM~wFaZqc64~9DFisYOO3m4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Provo City School District Board of Education on Feb. 20 voted unanimously to authorize the issuance of $70,000,000 in lease revenue bonds to complete Tempe View High School and begin design work for the Dixon Middle School site.

The vote followed a public hearing during which the district’s business administrator, Devin Daley, described the purpose of the bonds as completing Tempe View—cited as having safety issues—and funding initial design work for the Dixon site. Parent Heather Scabeland spoke in favor of the bond during the hearing, saying completing Tempe View “makes both practical sense” and that construction costs are likely to rise if the district delays.

Board members who spoke before the vote described the financial and practical reasons for acting now rather than placing the question on a citizen ballot. Board member Nick Van Wagon said the district had sought ways to “minimize the impact” on taxpayers while meeting student needs. Vice President Gina Hales and board members Lisa Boyce and others said they would prefer a ballot measure in principle but that waiting would increase costs and prolong safety and capacity problems at Tempe View.

After the board hearing, the same group convened as the Board of Trustees of the Municipal Building Authority of the district and held a separate public hearing, as required by state law, before voting to approve the same resolution as the municipal building authority. Both votes passed unanimously.

The district did not provide a detailed repayment schedule or tax-rate impact in the hearing; Daley summarized the projects the bonds will fund and described Tempe View as needing completion to address safety concerns. No formal objections were recorded during the hearings.

The board’s action authorizes the district and its municipal building authority to proceed with the bond issuance; further financing details, sale dates and fiscal impacts will be developed as the transaction proceeds.","The Provo City School District Board of Education voted unanimously to authorize $70 million in lease revenue bonds to complete construction at Tempe View High School and begin design work for the Dixon Middle School site after a public hearing and brief public comment.","actionData","errors"]
