SUBJECT:     
Training for SLD Eligibility for Special Education

The Utah State Office of Education has provided new eligibility rules for determining if a student qualifies for special education services under the classification of Specific Learning Disability (SLD). Based on these changes, we have developed a training for specific special education staff/schools. We would like to invite the special education team members from your schools to attend the training module for this new process. We are encouraging that an assistant principal also attend. This half-day training will be conducted by combining high school feeders. In order to give school teams the opportunity to participate in a group while still providing for class coverage, the training has been set up so that each school will send half of their staff in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. Please plan for the full day substitute teachers to switch between morning and afternoon groups. We recognize that Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) may work in multiple buildings and may not be available to attend the training on the assigned day of the secondary feeder.  If the SLP works in 2 secondary schools, the SLP should attend with their home base school. If the SLP splits between elementary and secondary, and is scheduled at an elementary the day of the secondary training the SLP may attend with another feeder. School Team Leaders please send a list of morning and afternoon participants to the Teacher Specialist assigned to your school by April 22nd. Special education will cover the substitute costs for training (Budget code: 1292). For more information, please contact Julie Brown at julie.brown@jordandistrict.org or 801-567-8200.

In 2016 the Utah Legislature passed HB460 which requires all School Resource Officers and School Administrators to attend annual training. The purpose of the training is to review and define the roles of disciplinary misconduct that is to be handled by school officials and delinquent offenses that should be addressed by the SRO's.

The State requires that one administrator and their SRO from every secondary school attend this training together. The training is free and will be provided in the Jordan School District on:

  • Tuesday, February 12th from 8:30-12:30 in the Auditorium at the ASB
  • Wednesday, February 13th from 8:30-12:30 in Room 129 at the District Office
