BESD- Board Work Session - Aug 12, 2026

This was a board work session for the Box Elder School District (BESD) held on August 12, 2026, focusing primarily on the naming of a new school in Tremonton. The board reviewed a list of 12 potential school names, including names honoring individuals, geographic features, and community heritage. Discussion centered on the criteria for naming schools, such as honoring donors or individuals with significant community ties, and the need for family permissions when naming after people. The board planned to collect members' top four name choices via a ranking system to narrow down options before a formal vote in September. No direct procurement or contracting decisions were made during this session, but the naming process and community engagement were key topics.
