Learning
the basics—literacy, numeracy, science—is essential
to help students prepare for the future. But not every student
learns at the same rate or in the same way. Students come
to our schools from a variety of backgrounds and with a wealth
of diverse experiences. Because of social, cultural, environmental
and physical changes over the past decades, the typical elementary-aged
student in Jordan District is different from his or her peer
of just a few years ago. In Jordan District we address these
differences by providing programs to meet individual student
needs.
More than 25,000 students participated
in various gifted and talented education programs, 7,300 were
enrolled in special education programs and nearly 8,200 received
state aid or free lunch. In addition, almost 19,000 students,
one-fourth the District’s total enrollment, were transported
on District buses to and from school each day and students
were served more than 7.6 million meals.
Meeting student needs also means
providing a safe, clean, climate-controlled learning environment—a
responsibility we take very seriously. Three new schools are
currently under construction in West Jordan and Riverton with
19 more schools planned in the next eight years. Along with
the challenge of building new schools to accommodate growth
comes the challenge of maintaining our older campuses, some
of which are more than 50 years old. |
