Board Meeting Live Stream - October 6, 2026

Granite Schools Board of Education meeting, October 6, 2026. Mill Creek Mayor Sherry Jackson asked the board to consider surplusing the former Mill Creek Elementary property for use as a municipal public works yard, citing the city’s need for a suitable site. The board did not take action on that property during the discussion. District leaders reviewed the general process for property leases and sales, including board approval, appraisals and fair-market-value requirements, statutory notice and negotiation periods with eligible government entities, and possible deed restrictions or reversion rights. Board members discussed preserving future district flexibility, the ongoing MGT facilities study, maintenance costs for vacant properties, and the distinction between one-time sale proceeds and recurring budget needs. The board also approved the consent agenda; the transcript does not specify its contents. A motion to enter executive session for real estate was made and seconded, but the transcript ends during the roll-call vote.

The board approved first readings of policies on learner-validated programs and course offerings, and a second and final reading of the military leave policy. The fall staffing report noted 212 new contract teaching hires—82 elementary and 130 secondary, fewer than the prior year amid declining enrollment—and described the district’s use of one-year-only contracts for some positions. No contract award, vendor selection, or specific property sale or purchase was approved in the transcript.
