The Millard Public Schools Board of Education approved a slate of routine business, personnel items, policy reaffirmations and schematic designs during its regular meeting on Oct. 21, 2025.

The board approved the minutes from the Sept. 22, 2025 meeting, authorized payment of bills and placed the treasurer’s report on file. The board adopted Policy 36-13 (Support Services Construction Planning / Master Facility Plan) and reaffirmed Policy 43-25 (Human Resources Grievances) along with Rule 43-25.1 (Human Resources Grievance Procedure) and Rule 45-10.10 (Association Leave). Trustees also approved the district’s option enrollment capacity standards (20-26-27) and the district’s legislative standing positions for the upcoming session.

On facilities, the board approved schematic designs for secure vestibules and related interior renovations at Abbott Elementary, Black Elk Elementary, Montclair Elementary, Anderson Middle School and Montclair Elementary, and approved a schematic design for an interior renovation at West High School. Each of those schematic approvals was presented by district staff and discussed by trustees before formal roll-call approval.

Personnel actions received routine approval, including a recommendation to hire a candidate for a previously unfilled position for the 2025–26 school year.

Why this matters: The policies and rules reaffirmed govern personnel procedures and grievance handling; the facility approvals move funded bond projects into the design and construction phase; option enrollment and legislative positions shape how the district manages student assignments and advocates at the state level.
