Since 1990, November has been designated as American Indian Heritage Month, a time to honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of American Indians across the U.S. The board celebrated with a dance performance by the Highland High School Native Club. Check out a video clip and photos on our social media.

ESSER Expenditure Update

For the last three years, the district has used federal ESSER funds (which were issued to support students through the COVID-19 pandemic) to support our schools and improve educational outcomes for our students. These funds expired in September 2024 with a carryover provision; our remaining funds will be used to upgrade heating and cooling systems in several schools.

Policy I-3

The board reviewed recommended changes to Policy I-3 and its Administrative Procedures and provided feedback to the board policy subcommittee.

Policy I-5

The board considered changes to Policy I-5 and asked the policy subcommittee to review the policy again and bring recommendations back to the board.

The district’s October 1 enrollment and demographic reports are now available on the district website: https://www.slcschools.org/schools/district-demographics.
