The consent-calendar changes were limited language updates: Policy 4195 (medication policy) replaces the term \"epinephrine rescue auto-injector\" with \"epinephrine rescue medication\" to align with recent legislation, and Policy 6400 (visitors to schools) adds language addressing \"remain unlawfully\" consistent with HB 477's amendments to criminal trespass on school property. Staff said neither change alters substantive practice.

Staff also presented Policy 3370, a time-and-effort policy required for tracking employee time when federal grant funds are used. The superintendent said state auditors recommended adopting a formal policy that aligns with the Code of Federal Regulations and district peers; staff said forms and procedures will be developed to document time charged to federal awards.

Finally, staff presented Policy 7200 to administer the salary supplement program for highly needed educators (known in discussion as the SHINE program). Staff explained that a 2023 legislative change transferred responsibility for determining stipend recipients and amounts from the state to local districts. Under the new local approach, the district will receive a set allotment and must determine per-employee supplement amounts. Staff said deadlines will require applications in March, verification of placement through the school year, and notification by June 1 that an employee is eligible for the supplement.

Board members asked practical questions about the appeals process (the policy requires an appeal committee for employees who claim substantially equivalent assignments), who will serve on that committee (not specified in the draft), how the district will determine the per-employee stipend amount once the number of eligible applicants is known, whether benefits are included in the stipend (staff said yes), and what happens to unused funds (staff said allotments are tied to WPUs and adjustments may follow but that rollover was not specifically defined in the policy). Staff said they will bring the stipend breakdown and a recommendation to the board for approval once application counts are known.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Study Session May 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District staff reviewed two technical policy amendments and two new policies: a federal time-and-effort policy (Policy 3370) and Policy 7200 to administer local SHINE salary supplements for highly needed educators; staff also noted consent-calendar wording changes tied to recent legislation.","taxTitle","Weber School District, Utah School Boards, Utah","taxId",66001,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6186535,"District says substitute staffing vendor increased teacher fill rates to about 92% in April",165,60000,225000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074608-a3e257305a0a992b4f0bb731a52f678d&start=60&end=225","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074608-a3e257305a0a992b4f0bb731a52f678d/thumbnail_60000.jpg","/articles/6186535/Utah/District-says-substitute-staffing-vendor-increased-teacher-fill-rates-to-about-92-in-April","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186535-090852f33b1c2e499940ccacc473af8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770716480&Signature=dRELSq~OyRc0RLUBkkDaaMGSaif8~SOiT~fyDUA0EhGYclCRSOJpBnUTutTSe4~MRMPGwrb9ltjxmyB3AZF6Fo-xNKImlk69D4YvhN6ncPI1qIPbknvBrbhPThS7AS3t7B635jjBzAd8NRLss~b1t6x-pfBSYdAELvXQX3Qgoq1-qIl2q77HknV4IJxaRifsQpDOA-xdnKxE8zNqsNj5Il~VNJDqo0ubJAxWbLSCiip4ycNDsUzvoZnZ379tTq25fKaEbw1iMxMfpGNNrqunK5UCJTLCJksOR~QqXsQh1os6LJ8u8KFfqtu9lrKLXn-DiWJ5g19qkZ2~Cyl87R-NhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent told the board that after the district began using a substitute-staffing vendor (referred to in the meeting as EduStaff), teacher substitute fill rates rose substantially and the district's employees reported improved ability to take leave.

The superintendent provided the following figures: daily teacher substitute fill rates now range between 85% and 99%; for April the teacher fill rate was 92%, compared with about 73% in the prior year. Support-professional fill rates were reported to be about 57% in the current period, up from the low-20s range the previous year. The superintendent said the district receives daily, weekly and monthly reports from the vendor and that HR and district leaders have walked the campuses to evaluate needs.

The superintendent expressed appreciation for HR and said the district expects continued improved fill rates moving forward. No formal action was taken at the study session; the item was an informational update to the board.","Superintendent reported that the district's partnership with EduStaff raised teacher substitute fill rates from roughly 73% to about 92% in April; support-professional fill rates also improved but remain lower than teacher rates.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6186541,"Weber School District seeks board approval to buy land near Roy Elementary; road project RFP issued for Lot 4",331,209000,540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074608-a3e257305a0a992b4f0bb731a52f678d&start=209&end=540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074608-a3e257305a0a992b4f0bb731a52f678d/thumbnail_209000.jpg","/articles/6186541/Utah/Weber-School-District-seeks-board-approval-to-buy-land-near-Roy-Elementary-road-project-RFP-issued-for-Lot-4","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186541-4a1cebcfcf2c6f943c48d45a7b236a13/orig.mp4?Expires=1770716480&Signature=IIrXadyDTDqvVyF8x0rqYvgEVB5iJLC0k7abjY3wDi~9BDDXdMxl3XMrbJM6sklZhVv7y7FgFRe7SnYQB10EPtfdLv5dH1fQiKFnasyzsX0qpqibPz7xdQrFHbB0W9n6A-kLnwFb3YQMDC8GesdreMJlV-9SwDw5wfVcCNE3ClmQ6XICm0LX2NxUtmLWKoi2ipmvD3olzLbGvxzTeGYLtpuWMzyJakwZVoNO3yffSzVMWn-Q3FXLKYzKNSd9cRXGv23STiyokv09qk0mUjlDFu20r18kI8QLIipDayzx4QSFZu6UsZN1s-H9v-KyfhqmtBP-Du7xvreiNX~M6BMGxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weber School District staff asked the board to approve two property acquisitions: a parcel from the Mia Family Trust adjacent to Roy Elementary for $275,000 intended to expand pick-up/drop-off, parking or bus circulation, and a second acquisition of roughly 6,813 square feet (Lot 4 A) to enable construction of a new road and sidewalk connection tied to an IFA agreement.

Mr. Hadley told the board the Mia Family Trust parcel is priced at $275,000 (about $14.92 per square foot in staff's calculation) while neighboring parcels were described as selling for a little over $17 per square foot. Staff said the district already controls a walkway behind the parcel and expects the acquisition to support safer circulation on the north side of 5600 as the roadway expands.

On the second parcel, staff described an agreement with the Intermountain Facilities Authority (IFA) coupled with engineers' plans and a construction RFP that was issued Tuesday for a road that will connect behind a car wash and turn to Twelfth Street. Staff said the original plan to purchase property from the car wash did not proceed and the district is pursuing Lot 4 A from IFA to accomplish the road alignment and add a sidewalk.

Finance for the purchases was explained by Rob, who said UDOT earlier purchased eight district lots near Haven Bay for $1,860,000; after closing costs the district received approximately $1,700,000 that staff plans to use to fund the two acquisitions. The RFP for the Lot 4 road went out on Tuesday, staff said.

Board members asked timing questions; staff said construction will wait until UDOT's nearby roadway work is complete so district construction does not interfere with UDOT work. No formal purchase vote was recorded in the study session; staff asked for board approval to proceed and said they will return with final documents once terms and timelines are firm.","District staff presented two proposed property acquisitions: a Mia Family Trust parcel near Roy Elementary for $275,000 to expand circulation and a Lot 4 parcel (about 6,813 sq ft) tied to a road project with an RFP issued; funds from a recent UDOT land sale ($1.7 million net) will be used to pay for the purchases and work.",{"_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},6186546,"Lieutenant Governor stays HB 267; Weber School District to continue employee negotiations and set June board timeline",550,530000,1080000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074608-a3e257305a0a992b4f0bb731a52f678d&start=530&end=1080","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074608-a3e257305a0a992b4f0bb731a52f678d/thumbnail_530000.jpg","/articles/6186546/Utah/Lieutenant-Governor-stays-HB-267-Weber-School-District-to-continue-employee-negotiations-and-set-June-board-timeline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186546-a4827acf0da1acb3ec2bac411ffdb1c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770716480&Signature=PPc7wm4DTONI7zAjlRezAOGbg1gzehGKwxO0X2f9jwNuzhPfFeZW8RU8Du69S~54TkceHZMnmsAR0LpbyPEPeC0F38Jpn5BNYl~SpPfMJSFEHN07VuWNLPAWUSTllgwlhJ3ZEfr2cUd8f7MeMm-cgVwSgcnZD0YkKOMhTj9DWLXigkhu0G1hm8LbxJ6fUVFufZuzWlb3Pgh905TmxpSbY49k8~5cbzDGWI-m9zAKmBlfoTURAhWJIMFtUQjasuIrqX2YE-gFP-m~YapdGv-iz6fD2QGBItQm5A0KdKPw7WyKWM4BhEPWmvbOCygh6wg6gqJbyU5d6i8jV6f3i2wNjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The lieutenant governor issued an administrative stay keeping House Bill 267 from taking effect while a statewide referendum petition proceeds, and Weber School District officials told the board they will continue collective-engagement work with employee groups and seek to present salary and benefits recommendations by the district's June 11 meeting.

The stay was triggered after county clerks certified enough referendum signatures to meet statutory thresholds, the superintendent told the board, pausing HB 267's July 1 implementation and moving the final decision to the ballot if certifications are completed by June 21.

The stay matters to Weber employees because HB 267 would have prohibited the district from engaging in collective bargaining with employee organizations. The superintendent said the district plans to continue meeting with the Weber Education Association (WEA), Weber Educational Support Professionals (WESP) and the administrators' association (referred to in the meeting as WAAA) to share proposed salary, cost-of-living and insurance changes for the 2025-26 school year and to develop formal recommendations for the board.

District staff described the statutory referendum process to board members as follows: within five days of a bill's passage citizens may file a referendum application with the lieutenant governor; petitioners then have 30 days after the legislative session to gather signatures equal to 8% of active statewide voters plus 8% of voters in at least 15 of Utah's 29 senate districts; county clerks certify signatures and forward them to the lieutenant governor, who has until June 21 to certify the petition and stay the law if thresholds are met.

Superintendent and HR staff told the board they will continue negotiations and informational meetings this month; they said they plan to return to the board on June 11 with proposed changes that must be in place before the district's fiscal year begins July 1. The superintendent noted that some negotiated agreements do not expire until September, and that the district intends to request an extension of the educational-support agreement through September to align timelines.

Board members asked for a clear timeline and messaging for employees; the superintendent said she will send the board a timeline and share slides and communications with employee groups in the coming days.

No formal board action was recorded at the study session on this item; staff described planned next steps and future agenda items for board consideration.","The lieutenant governor issued an administrative stay on House Bill 267 after enough referendum signatures were certified; Weber School District leaders told the board they will continue to engage employee groups and aim to present compensation and benefits recommendations at the June 11 board meeting while noting fiscal-year timing constraints.","actionData","errors"]
