October 15 2026 - Business Session

The Cache County Utah School Board’s October 15, 2026 business session included a North Cache Middle School presentation on student achievement, interventions, school culture, and a teacher-clinical partnership with USU. The board unanimously approved the consent agenda and three policies: online learning programs, internet access and filtering, and software approval. No contract awards, RFPs, or bid approvals were discussed. The software approval policy may affect future software purchasing decisions, though the transcript did not detail its requirements.

The superintendent reported that the district received a three-year grant of approximately $990,000 from Intermountain Healthcare for literacy initiatives. Planned uses include children’s books and materials for kindergarten families, family literacy events, support for literacy instruction at middle schools, and grant coordination; the district expects to hire a person to manage and coordinate the grant. Board members also discussed attending the 2027 NSBA conference in Washington, D.C.; travel funds may be available, but the board deferred a decision until its November study session. The district’s new Old Ephraim building was noted as open, with an open house planned, but no related spending action was taken.
