SALT LAKE CITY Jennifer Woznick, a fifth grade teacher at Meadowlark Elementary School, described to a cheering crowd of other teachers, students and parents what she called examples of recent bullying from Utah lawmakers. Is that the language used by a concerned elected official for the students of a city he is not even elected to represent? Or a bully? Woznick asked the crowd that had braved the frigid February cold to gather on the steps of Utah s Capitol on Wednesday. A bully! the crowd, organized by the Salt Lake Education Association, shouted back. The answer is obvious, she said.
SALT LAKE CITY A Minnesota educator has been selected as the next superintendent of the Salt Lake City School District.
The Salt Lake City Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to select Timothy Gadson III, associate superintendent of high schools with Anoka-Hennepin Schools in Anoka, Minnesota, as the district s top administrator. He will be extended a two-year contract and will start in July.
Gadson is believed to be the first Black educator to lead a Utah school district, according to the Utah School Boards Association. If it is the case, I think it s an honor and privilege. I think it s the Salt Lake City School District Board, really being bold and audacious and wanting the best candidate for the position. I think that I bring some things to the district and I m excited, Gadson said.
SB107 would require the State School Board to reallocate a portion of a per-pupil funding from a school district that does not provide a broad-based in-person learning option for all students in kindergarten through grade 12 by Feb. 8.
