Jordan School District Board of Education1 meeting
Oct 13, 2026 · YouTube live stream, study session + business meeting (captions)
- Fee rules: approved unanimously an update to the district's school fees policy (AA408). It sets how fee waivers work for families who can't afford fees, including the option to do a service assignment instead. The changes bring the policy in line with state law and a state audit.
- Land swap: approved unanimously a trade with UDOT (the state road agency). The district gives up land along the Mountain View Corridor that UDOT needs for a future freeway expansion. In return it gets the rest of the property around the Jordan Learning Center near Elk Ridge Middle School (except the car wash), plus cash.
- School closure review: after the enrollment forecast, voted unanimously to send Aspen, Southland and Westvale elementaries to the facilities committee. That committee studies whether shrinking schools should be combined, rezoned or kept as is; nothing was closed.
- Boundaries: voted 6-1 (Ms. Dean opposed) to have the facilities committee take a wider look at the proposed middle school boundary changes, meaning which neighborhoods feed which schools, and at nearby boundaries before a final decision.
- Spending: approved unanimously a $154,000 study of career and technical education (CTE) programs and job-market fit, paid from a $258,000 state Apex grant rather than local taxes. Also approved unanimously more than $700,000 for security window film required by a new state law (HB 84) and a network firewall at JATC South.
- Postponed votes on board governance policies GP 100, 101, 111, 112 and 114, which are the rules for how the board itself operates. The board ended in a closed session, a private meeting state law allows for personnel, property, legal and security matters; no votes can be taken there.
