They also recognized a Duchesne High School student, Ryan Moat, for his accomplishments on the Duchesne High Cross Country Team. The Public Law 874 states that the government must provide, a certain amount of money each year in behalf of Native American student! as a payment in lieu of tax dollars. Several Native American parents and students attended the meeting to discuss this issue and see if the funds were being spent on the Native American students. Giving the topic a careful analysis, District Clerk Phil Thompson painted out that money being spent on Native American students not only matched that of their budget, it exceeded those fiinds given to the district by the government. Later in the meeting board p members discussed the 22 program. This is a program designed for 11th and 12th grade students. It offers them the opportunity to earn an associates degree while they are still in high school. A policy on lice infestation was passed during the district meeting as well. This policy states that the principals at local schools have the authority to send children home if they are infested with lice.
