Agenda Items
- Welcome and introductions
- Boundary Update – Leon Wilcox
- From Leon –
- There is a new development in Jordan Bluffs which has led us to looking at a couple options.
- It was decided to wait until fall 2021 to move forward on this as we have new principals at Midvalley and Copperview. We also have a New Director in Federal Programs – Wendy Dau.
- We may do not do anything at this point as both enrollment and birthrate are down.
- Looking at enrollment numbers — we see drops across the district, however, Midvalley has increased by 50 students.
- There are 3 boundary update options.
- All options 1 – 3 impact Midvalley the same — Midvalley would pick up the “cone” –this boundary is currently in Copperview
- 142 K-5 students currently live in the cone area – 9 currently go to Midvalley – most we’d get is 42 from Copperview with an estimate of 80 – 90 students total.
- The cone shape will also line up our middle schools.
- Midvalley SCC likes option C.
- Timeline –
- Starting in October – we will work w/ SCCs to get feedback on boundaries and get w/ long term planning team
- Hold community meetings
- Collect all feedback by end of December – decide if we go forward based on development in Jordan Bluff and Avenues
- In March – this could possibly go to board approval
- If this boundary change goes through, it would be implemented fall 2023

7. Parking Lot
Discussion on parking lot – what’s working and what needs improvement.
- It was decided to add additional signage for how far forward (past the bike racks) parents/guardians should park and to encourage families to move forward during pick up.
- Conversation about the East Parking Lot and how to use that space better. Teachers will be encouraged, but not required to park in it to leave more space for our families in the West Parking Lot.
- Members appreciated the teachers being outside on duty. They make a huge difference our parking lot’s efficiency.
8. Fall CBM data

11. Plans

- Cell Tower – $5,036 (Margaret made a motion to move those funds to Principal Discretionary to be used for teacher morale which would include meals, teacher appreciation gifts, etc.) Geraldine made a motion to pass and Kemi seconded it. All 6 members voted in favor of the motion. We also will receive an additional $2,000 soon.
