Board approves student travel and LEA licenses; tables Wasatch wall repair and dance trip

PROVO, Utah — At its Sept. 19 meeting the Provo City School Board approved a pair of student travel requests, granted LEA-specific teaching licenses and tabled two items including a building repair request.

The board unanimously approved a high-school cheer trip to Anaheim, California, for a national competition and a high-school drama trip to New York City. The meeting record notes that the cheer team qualified for the national competition; a student named Zoe "came and talked" about the Anaheim trip. Both travel motions passed by unanimous voice vote.

The board also approved several LEA-specific teaching licenses for teachers assigned to new or endorsement-related positions; the district presenter explained the approvals were needed to meet a new deadline this year. That motion also passed unanimously.

The board tabled two items. Trustees moved to table the Tempeh (dance) agenda item until a future meeting after the presenters were not ready. The board also tabled the Wasatch wall repair purchase request because paperwork had not been finalized.

All routine motions recorded in the meeting passed without recorded opposition. The board adjourned with a reminder that the next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 14.
