Financial

      Jordan School District maintains an excellent fiscal reputation and record. For the 16th consecutive year, we received the prestigious Government Finance Offices Association's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for our Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The Association of School Business Officials International also awarded us a Meritorious Budget Award for excellence in the preparation and issuance of a school system annual budget—the sixth straight year for this honor.

      We operate an efficient school system that makes the most of our personnel and taxpayer dollars. We maintain a reputation for high student achievement despite spending an average of just $4,282 per pupil, 43 percent less than the national average and 39 percent below the state average. For each dollar spent, 65 cents goes directly to schools for classroom instruction. Another 23.4 cents is used for support services like instructional support staff, school maintenance, transportation and meals. Less than six cents per dollar is spent on school administration and just 0.6 cents on District administration, one of the lowest percentages in the country. Innovative cost-saving programs, dedicated employees, and a Board of Education and District administration devoted to delivering cost-effective services make this possible.
