The second acquisition is for a roadway connection that cuts through Lot 4A of IFA to link to the road turning to the traffic signal on Twelfth Street near the Witt Building. The purchase area is 6,813 square feet with a total purchase price of $115,821. The board approved that purchase by voice vote as well.

Heidi Alder introduced Policy 33-70, saying it “puts into policy what we've been doing in practice for several years” and provides procedures for documenting time for employees paid in part with federal funds. The board approved Policy 33-70 on first reading by voice vote.

Alder then presented Policy 7,200, the salary supplement for highly needed educators program (SHINE), noting it replaces the prior TSSP program and that “last legislative session, the state transferred the responsibility of that program to the district to begin implementing this year in the 25-26 school year and changed the name of the program from TSSP to SHINE.” The policy outlines which educator positions are eligible for stipends the district receives from the legislature. The board approved Policy 7,200 on first reading by voice vote.

Board members said the policies will go to the policy committee for further review before final adoption. One board member indicated they had minor comments they would bring to the committee; the transcript notes policy committee review is planned.","The board approved on first reading a time-and-effort policy (33-70) to document federally funded employee time and a new policy (7,200) implementing the SHINE salary supplement for highly needed educators following recent legislative changes.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6245008,"Weber School District approves committee to name new statewide online program",73,3916000,3989000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3227333-f932574e67eacbfbee2aa61127c384dc&start=3916&end=3989","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3227333-f932574e67eacbfbee2aa61127c384dc/thumbnail_3916000.jpg","/articles/6245008/Utah/Weber-School-District-approves-committee-to-name-new-statewide-online-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245008-36e61dccb3256005c26b87c620a4e867/orig.mp4?Expires=1770582818&Signature=SldfwXfspjXI4aFXDwvY7f-Xv~zUIjMk3LjPA~3uNB3~2I87FbMCNfXLJkz2e9eav~RJdCPVVbHctlKUAELyyJU32JCHljHX6oozHcd-org0EzEb1yHyJrSdHSgcrASj0FivjAqtCvTrtf9QEsE0qaEa9i-pEkeUZUMzFB4SCZZkXCwH9EH0u~F63TzM8Aw588ui-cXeASpc7w7y1jvJK~TlKrGzj10QJZG0IbuS6V4q8SCKKFgNIYNPFj6IGl2N8XclSKOqW8WfkN-CipQi2gCDopjEnC~RjqRBEEvyJq6JuFbNXCzgEC~zFeSk0PboGKFkh9dQOSZMlrBLCVvzag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Weber School District Board authorized formation of a naming committee to recommend a formal name for the district’s proposed statewide online education program and to follow the naming process in policy 6,600.

District staff member Nick Harris told the board the district has submitted a Statewide Online Education Provider (SOEP) application to the State Board and requested authorization to initiate the naming process. Harris said, “We have submitted our SOEP application to be reviewed by the State Board,” and described an accelerated timeline tied to state review.

Harris outlined next steps under policy 6,600: form the committee, run a community survey for names, review survey results, and return to the board in June with recommended names after at least two weeks on the agenda. He said the district had a survey ready to distribute and noted the committee “will meet one or more times.”

The board moved to establish the naming committee and approved the motion by voice vote; a second was recorded in the public record. The board chair indicated the committee will present candidate names at the June board meeting so the board can take final action after the required notice period under policy 6,600.

District staff said their SOEP application is under review for the State Board’s upcoming meeting; staff also said they plan to identify an administrator for the program after approval.

Superintendent Butters asked the board for formal approval, saying, “I first ask you board for your formal approval of Nikki in this new leadership role, and then following that approval, I'll circle back and we'll get to know Nikki.” The board approved the appointment by voice vote.

Slaw, introduced to the board after the motion, thanked Superintendent Butters and the board and described the position as closely aligned with her experience and goals. “This truly is a dream job,” Slaw said, adding that her work will center on students: “My students and our students will always be my why in every decision I make.” She also referenced a guiding motto used in her remarks: “every student, every day, whatever it takes.”

District materials presented at the meeting said Slaw has 23 years in public education, has led at multiple grade levels and served as an instructional technology and curriculum coach, and has earned awards including a Utah STEM School Award and national recognition for innovative leadership. The board did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the minutes; approval was recorded by the chair’s voice vote.

The appointment is framed by the board as part of the district’s emphasis on personalized learning and competency-based practices. The meeting record indicates Slaw will split responsibilities between leading Weber Innovation and directing districtwide personalized competency-based initiatives; the board did not announce an interim for her previous post or a start date during the public portion of the meeting.

Slaw thanked her family and supporters in brief remarks and said she looks forward to “create big things for Weber School District.”

The board’s approval was procedural; the district will next complete administrative and onboarding steps for the dual role.","The Weber School District board approved Nikki Slaw’s dual appointment as principal of Weber Innovation and district director of personalized, competency-based learning; Slaw pledged to prioritize student-centered instruction.","actionData","errors"]
