School district nearly prepared for domes; coaches approve

EVANSTON — The Uinta County School District No. 1 Board of Trustees held a public forum Tuesday to discuss the domes they purchased in April of 2022.

The forum began with a presentation by Facilities and Technology Director Jaraun Dennis, accompanied by Brent Sanders, Crest LLC owner and engineer, who has consulted with the district throughout the project.

Dennis provided the trustees with context. “Last year we purchased these domes,” he said, “for about $300,000.” They were originally used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at their Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah, adjacent to the Brigham Young University campus. Subsequently, the domes were shipped to Salt Lake City in preparation for sale to a company in New York. The company declined to purchase, and the domes have since been stored north of Santaquin, Utah.
