Votes at a glance: calendar appointments, permits and district bids approved Jan. 28
Summary
At the Jan. 28 meeting the board approved three calendar‑committee parent appointments, accepted several consent agendas, authorized Riverton HP Chromebooks, approved an E‑Rate network switch upgrade bid, and approved a permit extension for Copper Hills High School. The board also reserved July 29 as a potential July meeting date.
The Jordan School District Board of Education took a number of formal actions during the Jan. 28 study session and general session. Key outcomes:
• Calendar‑committee appointments — The board voted unanimously to appoint Julia Merrill (West Jordan feeder), Brian Call (Mountain Ridge feeder) and Lisa Eskeson (Copper Hills feeder) as parent representatives to the district calendar committee for four‑year staggered terms. Motion carried unanimously.
• Consent agenda(s) — The board approved two consent packages during the meeting. An initial consent package of items A–C passed unanimously; a subsequent consent package (A–E) also passed unanimously.
• Bids and contracts — The board approved the Riverton High School HP Chromebooks and licenses purchase and voted to accept an E‑Rate network switch upgrade bid for district information systems. Staff explained the switch‑upgrade purchase will be implemented in phases over multiple years because the district has more than 2,000 network switches; the current bid covers a substantial portion of the first phase. The network upgrade is eligible for federal E‑Rate reimbursement (staff estimated roughly 50% reimbursement on eligible costs). Both motions carried without opposition.
• Copper Hills High School permits — The district informed the board that cabinet had approved extending out‑of‑boundary permits to Copper Hills High School because the school falls in the tier that requires cabinet approval (it has more than six portables). Cabinet recommended offering up to 71 permits; after discussion the board voted in favor of the motion on the table. Board members noted the permit tiers and that cabinet had already approved the request, while some members asked for a future policy review of the permit process.
• July meeting scheduling — After debate and two motions the board ultimately reserved July 29, 2025, as a potential meeting date but did not calendar it as a regular meeting; staff were asked to treat July as a lighter period for board business where possible.
All motions listed above passed with unanimous votes where recorded. The board also handled other routine agenda items and acknowledged that staff will follow up where additional clarification or policy review is needed.
