The Davis School District Board of Education meeting on July 15, 2025, focused on several significant developments, including the approval of a Spanish dual language immersion program and the final major bond projects from the 2022 bond.

One of the key discussions involved the initiation of a study for a Spanish dual language immersion program at Lincoln Elementary School. Board members expressed enthusiasm for the program, which aims to enhance language skills among students. The motion to approve the study was made by Ms. Barber and seconded by Ms. Powell, receiving unanimous support from the board.

The meeting also highlighted the final three projects funded by the 2022 bond, starting with the construction of a new gymnasium at Kaysville Junior High. This project, which will be a partnership with Kaysville City, aims to create a double gym that will serve both students and the community. The board approved Hogan and Associates as the construction manager for this project, with board members expressing excitement about the benefits it will bring to the community.

Additionally, the board discussed plans for Bayview Elementary, which will see the addition of six classrooms and a remodel of the administrative office suite. Northridge Construction was recommended for this project, and the board approved the motion without opposition.

Finally, the board addressed improvements at Burton Elementary, which will include a new entrance and administrative suites. Will Meng Construction was recommended for this project, also funded by the bond.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to enhancing educational facilities and programs, with all discussed projects aimed at improving the learning environment for students across the district.
