The incentive will be paid on the last regular paycheck. Notifications of resignation or retirement received after the dates listed above will not qualify for an incentive. The official District resignation/retirement notification form is found in Skyward under “Employee Access”. Please see District policy DP318 or DP319 for more detailed information regarding resignations and/or retirements.

Please see document below for important dates and reminders.
School districts are required to keep special education records five years past the student’s twenty-second birthday. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Jordan School District must notify parents and afford them the opportunity to receive special education records before destruction of those records can occur.
As of January 31, 2022, such notice will have been advertised to parents for students whose birthdates are prior to September 1994 (i.e., students who are 27 years of age). Any records for students over the age of 22 will be stored off site until they are ready to be destroyed when the student turns 27 years of age.
Please see the attached memo for instructions for storage and destruction of Special Education Records.
During the months of October, November and December 2021 the Jordan School District teacher substitutes worked extra hours to provide coverage for teacher absences! The willingness of our teacher substitutes to increase the number of days worked during the past several months was remarkable and greatly appreciated.
The teacher substitute bonuses were distributed to the substitutes who qualified. If there are any questions regarding the teacher substitute bonus, please contact Juli Martin at juli.martin@jordandistrict.org or by phone at 801-567-8219.
The 2021 teacher substitute bonus was so successful that it is being EXTENDED through the end of the school year, with bonuses announced each month for the following month. For January, teacher substitutes with NO CANCELLATIONS and who qualify as outlined below, will be paid on February 10, 2022. The January substitute tiered incentives are as follows:
16 days worked in January = $275
14 days worked in January = $175
11 days worked in January = $100
8 days worked in January = $50
Benefit eligible teacher substitutes working full time at various schools throughout the Jordan School District, DO NOT QUALIFY for the monthly substitute bonus, since they are required to work every school (contract) day.
Please help us show appreciation to our valued substitutes for their dedication, assistance and service to Jordan School District.
