What board members said

We will make it work with Fish Ever Day. My biggest hang-up at this point in time is that it is a tribal name. And I know that some people believe that it's honoring the tribe, which I get. That those people aren't tribal members, if that makes sense.Gina HalesSchool Board Vice President · Provo City Board of Education · Sep 8, 2026Watch the full meeting from 36:51
I just want to make a comment because I think data privacy, and I think it's so important, and I want just the public to know that we value that for our employees as much as we do for our students and families. Um, and we take it really seriously.Lisa BoyceSchool Board · Provo City Board of Education · Aug 25, 2026Watch the full meeting from 59:52
