Badge access is universal and can be programmed to any location. Email matthew.mears@jordandistrict.org to request the badge access change or replacement.

Employees should not return access badges to the Fire/Security Department, unless the location is named on your badge or your title has changed. Once a change request email is received from an administrator/supervisor, a new badge will be issued and sent to your location via district mail.

Due to the Covid-19 Outbreak, many educators who requested authorization for a background check were unable to get fingerprinted before the expiration date on the form. The form normally expires after 60 days. The Utah State Board of Education has a contingency in place to allow educators to use these authorization forms, regardless of the expiration date. There is no need for the educator to get a new form.
