History

The district in question previously had a policy that allowed students from other school districts to attend Tooele County schools without prior permission. Additionally, the district allowed students who lived in Utah with other families, but whose parents lived outside of Utah, to attend Tooele County schools for free. However, in 1983, the district changed its policy and began requiring students in the former category to obtain permission from district officials before enrolling, and it started requiring the latter to pay tuition fees. Notably, sponsored international students were still permitted to attend for free.

Fast forward to 1997, the board of trustees proposed a bond of $25 million to address the increase in student population in high schools.

However, the proposal was later increased to $40-45 million to build a new high school in Stansbury Park. [2]

In 2022, Mark Ernst assumed the role of superintendent in the Tooele County school district. It remains to be seen what changes he will bring to the district's policies and practices, but his appointment marks a new chapter in the history of the district.
