SALT LAKE CITY Former West High School Principal Ford White s educator s license has been suspended for no less than a year.
The suspension was back-dated to June 30, 2020, the last day White was under contract with the Salt Lake City School District.
In November 2019, White was placed on administrative leave to investigate his alleged mishandling of an incident on Nov. 14, 2019, involving three female students who were intoxicated on school grounds.
The Utah State Board of Education voted Wednesday to uphold the recommendation of the Utah Professional Practices Advisory Commission, which conducted a hearing in October with respect to White s teaching license.

SALT LAKE CITY Arguing that it would further divide the country, Sen. Mike Lee blocked bipartisan legislation Thursday that would create national museums dedicated to the histories of Latino Americans and American women.
The Utah Republican said on the Senate floor that the history of Latino Americans and women should be a part of the National Museum of American History, not in separate museums. The last thing we need is to further divide an already divided nation within an array of separate but equal museums for hyphenated identity groups, Lee said. At this moment in the history of our diverse nation, we need our federal government and the Smithsonian Institution itself to pull us closer together and not further apart.
