The board accepted the independent auditor's report for the year ended June 30, 2024, as submitted by Brian T. Kelly, CPA. Board members recorded no auditor findings during the presentation and then voted to accept the report.
The approvals on the consent agenda included the minutes of the Jan. 15, 2025, meeting; resignation and personnel actions; volunteers and student-teacher placements; updates to the 2024-25 school calendar; acceptance of the NAIU general operating budget for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026 (a $0 change from the prior year); and routine finance items such as the list of bills payable, treasurer's reports, activity-fund reports, cafeteria reports and the list of checks received.

The board adopted second-reading policy revisions to Policy 005 (Organization), Policy 308 (Employee Contract/Board resolution) and Policy 823 (Opioid Antagonist).
On contracts and procurement, the board authorized: - A three-year extension of the student-bus services agreement with MRL Transportation (Lehi), contingent upon execution of an addendum to the current contract. - Approval to enter agreements for technology hardware and software upgrades identified as E-rate projects that may qualify the district for up to an 85% discount; purchases will proceed when formal funding commitments are received.
The board also approved an agreement with The Meadows for the 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28 school years, facility-use requests (with one event subject to rental fees), and several routine field-trip requests. During the field-trip discussion a board member clarified attendance expectations for mock-trial district competitions.

The board scheduled its next work session for March 10 and its next regular meeting for March 12, 2025.
Ending The board adjourned after the routine agenda, with no additional substantive public-comment items recorded in the transcript.
