Legislature Tackles Budget

You should have received an email legislative update yesterday. The budget will be finalized by next Thursday. Please continue to contact your legislators. Some of them believe the cuts made have not impacted classrooms. Share your personal stories about how the budget cuts are impacting your classroom and your students. Be specific and detailed. Let them know budget reductions have impacted you and your students and how further reductions would hurt.

We are also interested in HB 295 which would allow some flexibility for districts to move capitol money into operations. This bill would help Jordan School Distict and might help Davis as well.

SB 77 continues to haunt us. This bill would impact how Davis School District does business. It would make it more difficult for teachers to sit on the insurance committee and for negotiations to occur during the school day.
