Summary
The Weber School District Board approved several operational items including the appointment of Seth Pilkington as director of accounting, authorized boys volleyball at junior highs for 2025–26, adopted two policies on second reading and took a roll-call vote to enter closed session.
The Weber School District Board approved a series of operational actions at its meeting, including a personnel appointment, an athletics change for junior highs, policy adoptions and a closed‑session motion.
The board approved Superintendent Butters’ recommendation to appoint Seth Pilkington as director of accounting. Butters told the board Pilkington holds a master’s degree in accounting from Weber State University and is a certified public accountant, certified fraud examiner and certified school business financial official. The appointment was moved and seconded (mover: Bruce; second: not specified in the appointment exchange) and approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting.
Rob Lake presented a recommendation from a committee to add boys volleyball to junior high athletics for the 2025–26 school year to reestablish Title IX parity after the departure of junior‑high football. The board approved adding boys volleyball, with the district proposing Monday/Wednesday competition to accommodate officials. The motion passed after a motion and second (mover: not specified; second: Kelli) and a voice vote.
On policy business, the board approved updated Policy 71‑40 (Professional Internship and Field Placement) on second reading, and approved Policy 65‑50 (Volunteer) on second reading after no comments were received. The board also took Policy 6,400 (Visitors) on first reading and approved it to proceed to public comment. Heidi Elder presented those items and the motions were adopted by voice vote.
Finally, the board voted to convene a closed session to discuss real‑property strategy and pending or imminent litigation. The motion to enter closed session was moved, seconded (mover: Jan; second: Kelli in roll‑call exchange) and approved by roll call; recorded votes in the transcript show board members Williams, Larson, Burrell, Jardine, Vice President Hurst and President Whittison responding “Yes” to the roll call.
The actions were procedural and administrative; the board did not record numeric tallies for most voice votes in the transcript.
