A proposed USBE rule change would have required the District to count the Health & Wellness Day as a teacher professional development day. The 2024-25 calendar was created and approved with this rule change in mind. The rule change was ultimately not passed, which allows the District to continue to count the Health & Wellness Day as a virtual instruction day AND frees up an allowed teacher professional development day to be used elsewhere in the year.
To reduce the impact on students and employees, the following change was approved by the Jordan Board of Education:
- Friday, September 27, 2024 had been previously scheduled as a parent conference compensatory day for secondary schools and a regular school day for elementary schools. This day will now be a teacher professional development day for elementary schools. No students will attend school on this day.
- Friday, October 4, 2024 had been previously scheduled as a regular school day for secondary schools and as a parent conference compensatory day for elementary schools. This day will now be a teacher professional development day for secondary schools. No students will attend school on this day.
This change allows for an additional teacher professional day for teachers while also creating more consistent days off for students and families.
