Board passes consent agenda including renaming Magna Elementary to Magna STEAM Academy over one dissent
Summary
The Granite School District board approved the consent agenda (minutes, purchases, property items, personnel, and renaming Magna Elementary to Magna STEAM Academy) on a 6–1 vote; Kim Chandler cast the lone nay and Karyn Winder asked for more public process on property uses.
The board approved the full consent agenda moved by Julie Jackson and seconded by Connie Burgess. The package included routine items (minutes, purchases, change orders), personnel lists, a lease agreement for Western Hills, the sale of the GTI Home property, and the renaming of Magna Elementary to "Magna STEAM Academy." The motion passed 6–1; Board member Kim Chandler was recorded as the lone dissent.
Karyn Winder raised a procedural concern about the Western Hills lease, saying property-use decisions should go through a broader public process rather than being handled only through communication with the affected community. Kris Nguyen commented she prefers a name honoring Magna's history while emphasizing the new academic focus; Kim Chandler objected to several purchases listed on the consent agenda, including electronics curriculum and AI software.
