Board OKs building and facilities policy to formalize work-order and small-project approvals
Summary
Provo board adopted Policy 6811 to formalize district procedures for facilities work orders and projects under $50,000 and added a reference to HB 84 in legal citations.
The Provo City School Board approved Policy 6811 on May 13 to formalize how facilities work orders and small projects are handled across the district.
Devin Dailey and district staff summarized the policy in the study session, saying Policy 6811 clarifies that the superintendent and the business administrator work with facilities and maintenance to review small facilities requests under $50,000 to ensure school safety and building code compliance. Staff said there are multiple legal references in House Bill 84 and the policy links directly to that bill rather than enumerating every code that HB 84 references.
Board members discussed whether to add language about how work orders are prioritized; staff said facilities and maintenance meet monthly to prioritize work orders and that larger projects go to the capital facilities committee. A board member asked that the HB 84 reference include the year for clarity; staff agreed to add the year in the legal citation.
The board moved and seconded the motion to adopt Policy 6811; the motion passed unanimously.
Board members noted the policy largely reflects current practice rather than a change in how work is performed. The policy places routine prioritization and small-project review into board policy while leaving details of scheduling and prioritization to implementation by facilities staff and the capital facilities committee.
District staff confirmed facilities leadership has reviewed the policy language and is prepared to implement the procedure.
