Commenter describes network of student centers for homeless students at Davis High and across Davis County
Summary
During public comment, a community member described centers that provide food, academic help and basic needs to students experiencing homelessness, noting the first center opened in 2021 and a 10-center network was completed in 2025.
A commenter during public comment at a meeting of the Davis County School District said Davis High students who qualify as homeless can find help at a new student center that provides support for sleep, school and daily life.
"At Davis High, we have many students who qualify as homeless. This place will be an area where they can find help with sleep, school, and life," the commenter said. The speaker described providing assistance with food, academic support and general advocacy for students who need help "the most."
The commenter framed the centers as a community effort: "This is what happens when we come together as a community. This is something we can all agree on, taking care of our own, taking care of our own students." The speaker said the first center opened in 2021 and that the project reached 10 centers in 2025, describing that outcome as a sign of Davis County's commitment to education and student welfare.
The remarks were made in the public-comment portion of the meeting; no formal board action or vote on the centers was recorded in the provided transcript. The commenter emphasized day-to-day supports — having food available when students return home, academic help while at school, and a consistent adult advocate for problems that arise — but did not specify funding sources, staff assignments, or oversight arrangements for the centers.
Because the transcript contains only public comment, there is no record in the provided text of motions, referrals, or next steps taken by the Davis County School District board.
