Attached are the special education budget allocations for Resource, Self-Contained Teachers and Speech-Language Pathologists for the 2022-23 school year. (Cluster Leaders do not receive a Special Education budget.) Remember that special education monies must be spent in ways that provide the most benefit to special education students with the goal to improve student achievement and performance. It will be up to you, your team, and your school principal/financial secretary to keep track of how much of your budget you have spent individually.

Please note equipment purchases, electronic games and/or any materials that are not instructional in nature must be pre-approved from the Special Education Department. Equipment purchases that are not pre-approved will not be reimbursed. Requests must include the approval from your teacher specialist.

When submitting requisitions, follow Skyward procedures and guidelines. Requisitions for the 2022-23 school year can be submitted anytime between July 1, 2022 and March 1, 2023. The final deadline for all purchasing requests, reimbursement requests, E-checks and P-Card purchases is March 1, 2023. This is a different deadline than we have previously had and will not be extended.

If you have questions regarding your Special Education budget, please call Amanda Hamblin at (801) 567-8177 or the Teacher Specialist assigned to your school.

Due to supplier shortages and global supply chain issues, the Central Warehouse is running very low on Hammermill DP Colored Copy Paper and Springhill Digital Vellum Bristol Color Cover paper. The paper mills that produce Hammermill and Springhill have temporarily stopped taking orders from distributors that sell to the District. The Purchasing Department is currently working on sourcing other brands of DP Colored Copy Paper and Digital Vellum Bristol Color Cover paper that will fill the demand and needs of the District. Please be patient with us while we are doing all we can to make sure schools can order select colors and types of paper. If the paper you need is not currently available in the warehouse, you may look to purchase through Amazon, Office Depot, or Staples under the state contract using your pcard.

We have been updating each school as new administrative appointments and transfers become finalized. If you have additional updates, changes, or would like to add anyone from your mental health teams to receive SafeUT notifications, please email Angie Rasmussen at angie.rasmussen@jordandistrict.org. If you need a new account added to the Dashboard for a new hire please include their name and title in your email. For any individual that would like text message notifications, include a cell phone number. Thank you!

If your school has not yet been added to the SafeUT Dashboard, we will be making updates to ensure all JSD schools are registered and receiving SafeUT tips.

Early Warning System - Panorama

State Code §53F-4-207 establishes a student intervention Early Warning System (EWS) and on May 2, 2022 it become an ongoing law (the pilot program status was repealed). Under this law an LEA that is accepted as a part of the funding through the USBE shall pay for ½ of the cost of the program, but LEA’s may pay the full cost unsubsidized. ALL Jordan Schools, except the special schools, were approved by USBE for the subsidized amount of $2,000 annually. Panorama was paid for by Student Services for the 2022-23 school year only.

Panorama is an effective data-dashboard that sits on top of Skyward, pulling its data from Skyward and presenting it in an easy-to-use graphical user interface. Using course performance, behavior, attendance, and social emotional data Panorama presents information that helps educators get to the correct intervention/help sooner.

Social emotional surveys are integral to Panorama. These surveys are strongly recommended as they provide key SEL data several times each year. However, they are optional and schools may choose to administer them once, twice, three times or not at all. Each survey administration is optional and parents may choose for their student(s) to not participate. Students may choose to not participate as well. SEL surveys should never be required, part of an academic grade, or high stakes. The same questions are used for every survey administration and have been vetted by the district and its attorney and are NOT mental health screening questions. However, PRIOR to any survey, parents shall be notified and given an opportunity to opt out. Students access the survey via the web and use their student ID to access the survey.

Survey information including survey windows, sample parent letters, survey questions, and FAQ’s will be provided to you and your survey coordinator prior to EACH survey window. You may share any or all of the resources provided – including the survey questions, with parents and staff.

The first survey window of the 2022-23 school year will be August 29, 2022 through September 21, 2022. A second survey window will open in January with the third and final survey window opening in April.

Should you have any Panorama questions or training needs please contact Travis Hamblin (801.567.8439 or travis.hamblin@jordandistrict.org).
