Highbury Community Council

The Utah State Legislature passed a law in 2000 requiring every public school in the state to establish a School Community Council (Utah Code. Section 53A-1a-108). The Community Council helps guide expenditures from the state’s School Land Trust. For more information on School Community Councils, please visit http://www.schoollandtrust.org/.

Current Trust Land Plan:

Our current land trust funding is being used to support math achievement in the school. We are using trust land funds to support the addition of two math instructors. In grades 5-8, each grade level now has one dedicated math teacher. In addition, a teacher with Singapore Math expertise is serving as a math coach to provide additional support to teachers in grades K-4.
