# Board Study Session Live Stream - October 6, 2026

Granite Schools Board study session, October 6, 2026: The board received a capital and construction update. Security fencing work is advancing, with seven schools completed, several in construction, and additional sites under review; staff said they are working with the vendor on the next round and correcting latch and other installation issues. Fire-alarm and carbon-monoxide detection projects at Bennion and Churchill Junior Highs have been awarded and are awaiting materials. Staff are targeting the November board meeting to approve a contractor bid for the Taylorsville High School wing addition, with construction expected to begin in December. The event center at the Elementary Rebuild is in design, with a general-contractor bid approval targeted for the January board meeting. No change orders were brought forward, and no procurement votes were recorded.

The board also reviewed academic and student-experience data following school closures. Reported measures showed improved proficiency and growth for the student cohorts studied, while sense-of-belonging results raised questions for further analysis. Staff agreed to provide additional information on whether students enrolled at their intended boundary schools and on academic outcomes at receiving schools; they will also examine school-level belonging results. The board then took a dinner break. No specific contract amounts or vendor names were stated.
