Layoffs Ahead for Salt Lake’s Jordan School District

While it has not yet officially announced layoffs, the Jordan School District has declared its intention to make $17.5 million in personnel cuts in an effort to close a $30 million budget deficit. Up to 190 jobs may be eliminated.

In a prepared statement, District Board of Education President Peggy Jo Kennet expressed a desire to balance the budget immediately rather than seek piecemeal solutions: “Our end goal is to responsibly approve a budget that doesn’t require repeated attention to fill an ongoing deficit.”

Jordan School District serves the communities of West Jordan and South Jordan, both suburbs of Salt Lake City.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
