The Green River Formation of Utah-Colorado-Wyoming is famous for having vast oil shale deposits and for having exquisitely-preserved fossils. Fossil Butte National Monument in southwestern Wyoming preserves and displays some of these high-quality fossils. — James St. John · by

What happened

The board approved a 2026-2029 Springboard improvement plan for Green River High after the Utah State Board of Education identified the school under Utah Code 53E-5-302. The school earned 42.44% of accountability points and must reach 47.29% to exit.

Why it matters to families

The school now works with an outside improvement expert and a new instructional coach for three years. The plan names chronic absenteeism, low family involvement in academics and student apathy as problems.

The evidence

The Springboard School Improvement Plan, attached to the May 28, 2026 agenda, lists the designation, the accountability scores, the exit target and the priority areas.
