It was an opportunity for lawmakers to experience the love educators have for teaching, the level of student engagement, and the learning that goes on in classrooms throughout the state of Utah. Lawmaker Day in the Classroom was made possible by the Utah School Boards Association (USBA) giving members of the legislature a better understanding of what is working well for students and educators as well as the challenges they may face.
Jordan School District was honored to welcome State Representative Cheryl Acton to Antelope Canyon Elementary School and State Representative Candice Pierucci to Mountain Ridge High School. The lawmakers spent time in classrooms, meeting students and teachers, visiting with administrators, and generally experiencing quality time in our public schools.
The USBA said this is one way of building stronger relationships between educators and lawmakers. Thank you to all lawmakers taking time to participate in “Lawmaker Day in the Classroom.”
