# BESD- Board Meeting - Nov 11, 2026

The Box Elder School District Board of Education meeting, titled November 11, 2026 (meeting metadata lists November 12), included several spending and program decisions. The board approved the district’s participation as a vendor for the Utah Fits All scholarship program and associated fees, including a stated $500 per half-credit course and $350 for driver’s education. It also approved a revision to Box Elder High School’s 2026–27 school trust plan, reallocating about $37,000 toward teacher professional development and conference training, and approved an increase to the district’s restricted reserve account, moving funds from unassigned balances to strengthen the reserve. The board also approved the 2027–28 school calendar and policies on first and second reading. No competitive solicitation or contract award was identified.

Facilities updates covered ongoing construction and site work at Discovery, Salt Creek, the South Transportation Center, Garland, McKinley, and Bear River, including building work, parking lots, asphalt, and a fuel tank; the board received updates but did not vote on a construction award. The North Park Elementary principals thanked the board for funding two new playgrounds. The financial report described a roughly $200 million budget across eight funds and noted rising diesel costs, including a $200,000 increase in the fuel allocation that may not be sufficient. The board also received an update on the district’s online program, which is expanding course offerings, and on technology filtering and student safety; no related purchasing decisions were identified.
