The JSD Surplus Warehouse is up and running.  We want to thank the schools and departments who have been diligent in turning in their paperwork.  We currently have an auction and reallocation on PublicSurplus.com for those who maybe looking for items for your school/department.

We also have made a few time frame changes to the Surplus Guidelines we sent out.  The changes are as follows:

  1.  After surplus items have been picked up and processed, all items deemed usable for schools will go on the PublicSurplus.com website for reallocation.  Items on reallocation are available for only schools to view. All surplus items will be on reallocation for (2) weeks; they then will roll over into auction on PublicSurplus.com. To access reallocation items you will use your login and password that you created from the link we sent you previously.  If you do not know if you have a login or have forgotten it please contact the Surplus Warehouse. They can tell you your login but they do not have access to your password unless you sent it in.  If you are interested in looking at an item for your school, you may view them Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.or by appointment. Please contact the Surplus Warehouse at (801) 567-8709 to schedule an appointment.

If there are any questions, please contact Corie Fuller, Karen Barnes or Kris Wishart in Fixed Assets/Surplus Warehouse.

SUBJECT:
Employee Attendance at Relative's Graduation Exercises

For the past several years, Jordan School District high school graduations have been scheduled off-campus and starting times have varied considerably.  This year, high school graduation exercises are on Thursday, June 2nd.

Principals and Directors are encouraged to direct parents or grandparents who may wish to attend these graduations, but who are scheduled to work in their own locations to District Policy DP335 NEG.  This policy specifically states: "Personal leave shall not be taken during the first five days and last five days that students are in school except...to attend to personal or business matters which require the employee's attendance and scheduling is beyond the employee's control."

Since graduation scheduling is beyond the employee's control, it is the expectation that immediate supervisors will cooperate and provide employees who may fall into this category, an opportunity to attend graduation ceremonies of family members.

Employees are responsible for requesting a substitute through the AESOP system, if applicable.  In the “Notes to Administrator” box, the employee should add graduation along with his/her relationship to the graduate.

Any questions should be directed to the appropriate Administrator of Schools.
