There is an ongoing opportunity for student groups to tour the Governor's Mansion. If you have a group already planning to visit the State Capitol, they could also visit the Mansion at the same time. Capitol Preservation has some funding for school groups to cover transportation costs if groups visit both the Capitol and the Mansion.

Liz at Preservation Utah arranges the tours and the docents. Her number is 801-533-0858, extension 107. If she is unavailable, please reach out to Lynda Horne, Mansion Manager, at 801-538-1649 for assistance. They love sharing the beautiful Governor's Mansion with Utah students.

The following guideline, approved by Cabinet, will help teachers and principals counsel students as they move forward in their DLI programs.

"The goal of the Dual Language Immersion program as defined by USBE is to create a K-12 language roadmap for Utah to address the needs for language skills in business, government, and education. Jordan School District supports this goal and works to create an environment where students can participate in the benefits of learning a second language.

In addition to the USBE Dual Language Immersion assurances and criteria, the following guideline will be used to make decisions as needed.

In the event that a student decides to withdraw from the DLI program, they would not be eligible to return to the program at a later date."
