Dr. Bills (maintenance/facilities lead) presented the district’s projected capital revenues and the multi-year capital plan. He said projected revenue sources include about $84,000,000 in new property tax revenue, approximately $500,000 from the capital-outlay foundation program (subject to state-level changes), a fund balance of about $29,000,000 and roughly $2,000,000 in interest, producing a total near $115,000,000 for district capital and operating funds. For next year, the district requested approval for roughly $3,600,000 in priority projects and about $9,800,000 in capital-plan projects.

Bills described how the district compiles the five‑ and ten‑year capital plan using maintenance logs and a computerized asset-management system that records maintenance, age, and life-expectancy data. He said priority projects are smaller, routine requests developed with principals and maintenance staff, while capital‑plan items are larger predictable replacements.

Examples presented included playground equipment (about $200,000), playground concrete improvements ($150,000), Technology Building HVAC replacement (about $475,000), UPS battery backup ($250,000), and a Desert Hills roofing replacement project estimated at $745,000. Board members asked about how projects are prioritized and the scope of facilities across the district; Bills replied the district has more than 50 buildings and prioritizes work through maintenance records, principal input and cost estimates from architects.

Member Seggmiller moved to approve the capital outlay list and Member Gunn seconded. The board voted in favor and the motion passed.","Board approved priority and capital-plan projects for the next fiscal year, including ~$3.6 million in priority projects and ~$9.8 million in capital-plan projects; board members discussed how projects are prioritized and maintained.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6659473,"Utah Online School principal highlights growth, partnerships and services to district",314,310000,624000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2459982-4e68a3ff74a20b5f6af3a14118edfad9&start=310&end=624","/articles/6659473/Utah/Utah-Online-School-principal-highlights-growth-partnerships-and-services-to-district","Laura Belknap, principal of Utah Online School, presented an update to the Washington County School District board Monday, describing two decades of growth, student outcomes and partnerships with district schools.

Belknap told the board that Utah Online School began serving K–6 students in 2004 with 25 students and three staff and has grown to about 14,000 active students and 218 staff in 2025, with an anticipated 367 graduates this year. She said Utah Online’s course-completion rates run between 88% and 95%, which she contrasted with national averages of roughly 50%–75% course completion for online programs.

Belknap highlighted program services that include original-credit courses, summer school, credit-recovery (referred to as “second year seniors bridge”), and support for the district’s recovery program. She noted Utah Online circulates and tracks more than 8,000 district-owned computers and said the school is working with Snow Canyon High School and Desert Hills High School on variance and pilot arrangements to better align services. When asked whether teachers must live in Washington County, Belknap said teachers must hold a Utah teaching license but the district does not separate staff by residence; she noted some teachers formerly living in state have moved out of state while maintaining roles.

Board members asked for the presentation and supporting facts to be made available; Belknap said the presentation and data would be shared. The board did not take formal action on the presentation during the meeting.","Utah Online School principal Laura Belknap updated the board on program growth, student outcomes, partnerships with district high schools and services including summer school, credit recovery and device distribution.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":98,"_43":99,"_45":99,"_47":100,"_49":50,"_51":101,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":102,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":103,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6659478,"Washington County board opens 30-day comment period after committee recommends Illustrative Math (Kiddom) for K–6",0,2677000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2459982-4e68a3ff74a20b5f6af3a14118edfad9&start=2677&end=2677","/articles/6659478/Utah/Washington-County-board-opens-30-day-comment-period-after-committee-recommends-Illustrative-Math-Kiddom-for-K6","The Washington County School District Board of Education opened a public hearing Monday and announced a 30-day public comment period after the district's elementary math committee recommended adopting Illustrative Math (delivered via the Kiddom platform) for kindergarten through sixth grade.

District staff said the recommendation follows a committee review of multiple curricula. The public may review the proposed materials on the district website under the “Parents” and “Curriculum” sections and submit comments during the 30-day comment period announced at the hearing.

Monica (elementary math department representative) told the board the district formed a committee to evaluate several math curricula and concluded after “careful evaluation” that Illustrative Math provided by Kiddom should be presented to the board for adoption. Board leaders opened the hearing, called for speakers on the specific topic, and then closed public comment after no members of the public requested to speak during the hearing. Monica said the curriculum is posted on the district’s website and answered a board question about timeline: the hearing starts the 30‑day public comment window, after which the board will consider next steps toward a final decision.

The presentation included an overview of where to find the materials and how the public may submit feedback; Monica said the district will accept and review input received during the public-comment period. The board did not take a final vote on adoption at the meeting.

The district did not provide additional details at the hearing about adoption dates beyond the 30-day comment period, nor did it provide a formal motion or vote on the curriculum during this session. The board directed staff to make the proposal and supporting materials available online for public review.","District staff announced a public hearing and a 30-day comment period on a proposed K–6 math curriculum adoption; an elementary math committee recommended Illustrative Math delivered via Kiddom and the curriculum is posted on the district website for review.","actionData","errors"]
