Midas Creek teacher, Kelleen Leslie, is the Arts Teacher of The Year for the Jordan School District. Leslie was honored at the 50th Anniversary Awards Gala of A.R.T.S, Inc., for her ability to bring art into the classroom in a unique and inspiring way. Leslie recently participated in a week-long fellowship sponsored by the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Superintendent Patrice Johnson was a part of the special night to honor Kelleen’s success. Way to go Kelleen –your students, faculty and staff at the district are very proud! ★
The Board of Education approved an early notification incentive to assist Jordan School District with the reduction in staff process, wherein seniority may not be used as the deciding factor. This change was made by the legislature during the 2011 legislative session.
The Early Notification Incentive provides contract LICENSED employees (teachers/educators and both licensed and classified administrators) who are resigning at the end of the current contract year a $200 financial incentive upon providing official notification of resignation prior to March 1. Notice must be made in writing to both the school principal/immediate supervisor and the Human Resource Department. This incentive will be paid on the last regular paycheck.
Employees may view these changes to District policies DP318 – Resignations – Licensed and DP318A – Resignations – Administration at: http://policymanual.jordandistrict.org/
The Early Notification Incentive process eliminates the need for Educator/ Administrator Intent to Return letters. ★
The District is required to notify all employees to check their withholding status and make any changes necessary to keep their tax-withholding status correct. Employees who have had any changes such as marriage, new babies, divorce, etc., can fill out a new W4 and submit it to the payroll office. If you are claiming exempt status from taxes, that status will expire mid-February. To continue to claim exempt status, employees must fill out a new W4 each year. ★
Maintenance Department employee Shaun Macomber, who works with the grounds crew, was voted by his peers as the February employee of the month. ★
