The Cache County School District board conducted several recorded electronic votes Nov. 20. Key outcomes:
- Consent agenda: Approved unanimously. The board acknowledged receipt of multiple emails both for and against moving the Spanish DLI program.
- Annual financial audit report (2024–25, excluding the federal single-audit supplement): Approved unanimously. Auditor Cody Bland of Ritchie May summarized the report: the district's net position increased roughly 13% to about $184 million, capital assets grew by about $43,000,000 tied to new schools, total revenue rose near $17,000,000, and federal aid decreased by approximately $7,000,000 as pandemic funding was used up. Auditors reported one state‑compliance finding; the federal supplement will be issued later and can be presented to the board when available. The district must present the report to the state school board by Nov. 30.
- DLI program decision: The board accepted Superintendent Todd McKee's recommendation to retain the Spanish DLI at South Cache and provide up to four years of busing for impacted Nibley families. The motion passed 5–1. The board directed staff to implement transportation plans and monitor outcomes.
- Naming of new Hyde Park elementary: Approved the naming committee's recommendation of Old Ephraim Elementary by unanimous vote; board members noted community outreach will be needed to explain the name.
- School choice data (enrollment-window changes for next year tied to opening new schools): Approved unanimously.
Board members and staff said they will follow up on implementation details for the DLI transportation plan, the federal audit supplement, and community outreach around the new school name.
