Presentation for Legislators

Legislators listen to the Board presentation

Superintendent Johnson and the Board of Education recently hosted a meeting intended to open dialogue among the legislators who represent patrons in Jordan School District.  The presentation highlighted successes, opportunities and goals the District has for its students, while giving legislators the chance to ask questions and share their thoughts about progress in public education.

Senator Howard Stephenson commended the Board on giving a unique presentation focused on the direct needs of the students in the District.  The Board asked for help with legislation and funding that will assist the District to meet its student achievement goals.  It also promised to track all results so the legislature can clearly see how the goals are being achieved.  Those in attendance included Representatives Jim Bird, Merlynn Newbold, Ken Ivory, Wayne Harper, as well as Senators Howard Stephenson and Aaron Osmond.
