School board makes board appointments, continues with dome project

The Uinta County School District (UCSD) No. 1 board held its monthly meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 10.

The meeting began with the placement of trustees on other local boards. Board chair David Peterson removed himself from the Uinta BOCES board and nominated David Bennett to succeed him. The current UCSD No. 1 representatives on the BOCES board are Christa Barker, David Bennett and Dan Wheeler. Wheeler, Joel Wiedrich and Jenny Welling remain on the Evanston Parks and Recreation board. A new appointment to the rec board was tabled until next month’s school board meeting. Wheeler remains on the Region V BOCES board.

Davis Middle School Principal Rick O’Driscoll addressed the board on behalf of the middle schools’ seventh grade science professional learning community (PLC.) He opened by describing how the middle schools differ from the elementary and high schools in the district. “We are one school with two campuses. We have one teacher at Evanston Middle School (EMS) and one teacher at Davis Middle School (DMS,) and they come together every week to make sure the work they’re doing is very much the same.”
