View history of records' creator.

Schedule Description

These are the superintendent's legal files. They are used to create policies, make decisions, and to document previous decisions. They include research performed by the various law firms hired by the district, legal opinions written in answer to questions from the school board or the superintendent, and policy statements from the State Board of Education. The opinions concern various issues including videotaping, school district liability for club activities, nonresident tuition fees, dental survey, and the sale of school property. The files also include information on district lawsuits (i.e., boundary disputes, Christmas programs, and the Utah Taxpayers Association). There is some duplication between these records and the files
maintained by the district's business official, but most are the district's only copy.
