UMS Closure Study
An update on the Uintah Middle School Closure and Middle School Reorganization Study will be discussed during the Informational Items portion of Wednesday’s business meeting. Board members will take public comment as part of the discussion; however, they aren’t voting on the issue. A vote is expected to take place during a special business meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 22, following more than 90 days of review and public comment. Information about the UMS Closure and Middle School Reorganization Study can be found on the district website.

The performance will be streamed live on the Uintah High Choir Facebook page for those who can’t attend in person.
The Drowsy Chaperone – Tickets on Sale
Tickets are on sale now for the Uintah High Theatre production of The Drowsy Chaperone. The show is about a middle-aged, asocial musical theater fan who, feeling “blue,” decides to play a record of his favorite musical, The Drowsy Chaperone, for the audience. As the record plays, the show — a parody of 1920s American musical comedy — comes to life onstage, with the man wryly commenting on the music, story, and actors. The fictional musical in the recording features the intrigues of an about-to-be-wed oil tycoon and a Broadway starlet. The show runs Oct. 23-24, Oct. 26-27, and Oct. 29-30 in the UHS auditorium. Curtain time is 7 p.m. for all performances. For tickets, visit uintah.ludus.com.
