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.
A Letter from the Board of Education Regarding One-time Bonus
As a Board of Education, we thank you for your commitment and willingness to dedicate yourselves to the children of Jordan School District. We recognize the past few years have been very difficult and trying. We also recognize that without resolute staff members, who stand fast through challenging times, the education of our students would have suffered. You all have truly earned our gratitude.
In appreciation of your loyalty and dedication, the Board will give a one-time bonus in the November 23 payroll. Details about this bonus will be included in a separate memo.
We hope you will accept this gift in the spirit of thanksgiving and know that the Board is aware and appreciative of your continued diligence and efforts for the children of this District. We thank you for keeping the students first and embracing our focus of “every child, every day.”
With sincerest gratitude,
Jordan School District Board of Education
