SUBJECT:
DRUG & ALCOHOL VIOLATION CARRY-OVERS

The enclosed list identifies students who violated Drug and Alcohol Policy AS90 during the 2017-2018 school year. Their violation resulted in a 10-day, 45-day or I 80- day school suspension. Summer vacation will begin before the suspension can be completed, and therefore, must be continued at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year. Students are listed alphabetically, and we have indicated their suspension period and return date. Also included, is the list of First Offender students who did not complete the class before the school year ended, and who will need to finish in the Fall. We will notify the parents of the start of classes in September.

You will be contacted in advance of each student's return date if they have failed to complete the assessment as well as the suspension days. Please notify your attendance secretary so that students do not register before their violation has been cleared.

All schools with carry-over students will receive the student names to avoid students attempting to register in a different building, thus avoiding the consequences. Do not allow students to transfer from another school unless their suspension and their assessment, as per policy requirements, have been completed.

Thank you!

2018-19 High School Summer Office Help

Each high school in Jordan School District will be allocated $4,000 to assist in covering summer office hours for the 2018-19 school year.  Please note that benefits must be deducted from this amount.  Benefits are calculated at 8.45% to include FICA, Medicare, and Industrial Insurance. If you choose to use a full-time school employee that qualifies for retirement benefits, an additional 23.69% (Tier I-before July 1, 2011) or 20.02% (Tier II-after June 30, 2011) must be added to the total cost.

This money may be used for time worked from June 1 through August 31, 2018.  Employees are to use True Time when working these hours. True Time hours should be submitted weekly.  Please email a list of names of all employees who will be working these hours to Keelee Leulaui in payroll at keelee.leulaui@jordandistrict.org and she will add the pay-code for them to use in True Time. No money will be carried over from the summer hour allocation.  All time worked for your summer office hours will be coded as 10-E-LOC-8707-2436-154 and should be recorded each month for Brad Sorensen’s approval on your school’s allocation form.

If you have any questions, please contact Marilyn Smith at marilyn.smith@jordandistrict.org,
