BOYER VALLEY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS BOARD OF DIRECTORS - SPECIAL MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2022 4:00 P.M. – BOYER VALLEY SOUTH CALL TO ORDER: President Steve Puck called the special meeting of the Boyer Valley Board of Education to order at 4:00 p.m. Members answering roll call were Paul Cogdill, Ben Hansen, Elizabeth Heistand, Craig Malone, Jen Miller and Steve Puck. Director Ueding was absent. Administrators present: Supt. Jeremy Christiansen and Secretary Terra Sell. Visitors present: Tony Kuker and Cody Freland. APPROVE AGENDA: Motion by Miller, second by Heistand to approve the agenda as posted. Motion carried 6-0. OPEN FORUM: Tony Kuker addressed the board regarding the 90-day ineligibility wait period for open enrollment. There is no opportunity for him to play JV and he would appreciate the opportunity to be able to compete on varsity at Woodbine for football. NEW BUSINESS: A. Open Enrollment Eligibility: there was a request received by the board from an open enrolled out student requesting to waive the open enrollment ineligibility rule of 90 days to compete in varsity athletics. Concerns were brought forth regarding the deadline to submit open enrollment paperwork having been removed and possibly opening an avenue for students to “jump districts for certain sports,” to which the board will not allow. Heistand noted, this is a unique situation, which can be made reciprocal, without setting a precedent. Motion by Heistand, second by Hansen that the Boyer Valley School Board grant a waiver on the open enrollment ineligibility rule of 90 days for varsity athletics under the terms/conditions as follows: a. Open enrollment documentation is filed properly and only between school, not calendar, years for transferring of a district. b. The student requesting open enrollment must attend said requested district on day 1 of the school year. c. Said requested school district must not provide an opportunity for the student athlete to play sub-varsity athletics. d. Said requested school district must pass a reciprocal policy prior to varsity eligibility of student athlete. e. Said student may return to their home district without varsity eligibility penalty applied. Motion carried 6-0. B. Motion by Miller, second by Cogdill to approve a contract for Julie Burhoop, PLCL. Motion carried 6-0. C. Motion by Hansen, second by Heistand to approve a contract for Paula Evans, Library Associate at $14.25/hr. Motion carried 6-0. D. Supt. Christiansen updated the board regarding keys for the building on whether the board would like to keep the current, residential keys or transition to commercial. This process would require getting bids, but he wanted to gauge the interest on the topic before moving forward. Consensus of the board was to move forward on gathering more information and pricing. A motion by Hansen, second by Heistand to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 6-0. With no further business appearing before the board, President Puck declared the meeting adjourned at 4:24 p.m. These minutes are as recorded by the board secretary and subject to approval at the next regular board meeting.
