November 5 - 2026 - Study Session

The Cache County School Board held a study session on November 5, 2026 (the meeting metadata lists November 6). The board reviewed its meeting-preparation responsibilities and received reports on literacy outcomes, technology operations, school choice, and community communications. INTE Collegiate Academy requested the board’s recommendation to the State Board of Education to renew a three-year graduation-requirements waiver; no vote was taken during this session, and the request was expected to come back at a future meeting. District staff reported strong reading and ELA results and discussed implementation of individualized reading plans required under state law.

Procurement-related discussion centered on technology assets and cybersecurity, with no contract awards, vendor selections, bid approvals, or purchasing votes identified. The technology department described device reallocations associated with school changes, ongoing device life-cycle management, and budget pressure from reported computer-hardware inflation of 17–18%; staff also cited the loss of DTL grant funding and said they continue to look for grant opportunities. The district reported completing a security audit and discussed staff training and possible tools to address phishing risks. Staff will provide a school-capacity report for board review, and communications staff are to return with ideas for sharing district information more broadly.
