Agenda Items: 

1. Boundary Discussion led by Mr. Leon Wilcox, Business Administrator and CFO of Canyons School District & Floyd Stensrud, Canyons School District’s Director of Planning and Enrollment
   • 2013 there was a shift where 6th grade went up to Middle school
   • This year we want to do a shift in boundaries throughout Canyons school district.
   • The goal is to keep neighborhoods together, accommodate new students, maintain class sizes, continue academic momentum at Midvale and Copperview and maximize the use of school buildings.
   • Final Proposals February to April
   • 23-24 Implementation year
   • 3 options on Boundary changes
     1. Option 1: Midvale Elem Boundary- Dropping what is north of 7500 S. and some of Midvale Elementary boundary to EME.  Midvalley would get some of Copperview Elementary students.
     2. Option 2: Midvale would increase and East Midvale will decrease – One issue for Midvale Elementary is the increase in #
     3. Option 3: East Midvale will have about the same number of students as its current state.  They would give away only a piece of their boundary (avenues of Midvale)to Midvale Elementary
     4. Overarching programs need some balance. We are taking into account capacity but the main part is trying to make room for new families, etc.
     5. Council is loving Option 3 so far.. 3 makes the most sense.  Midvale and Midvalley also like Option 3
     6. How do you weigh the decision between the 3 options if parents say something different from the SCC? Mark relays the message that the SCC opinion is VERY important
     7. Open house and feedback for EME January 27
2. Motion and vote on January SCC meeting date change to January 5, 2022
   • Motion accepted and we will have our next meeting on January 5th
