In light of upcoming school closures in Salt Lake City School District we are urging the Salt Lake City School Board to retain all staff. We see this as a great opportunity for SLCSD to adequately staff our schools. There are currently 138 job openings posted on the district website. We know the district could successfully reassign every employee at a closed school to an identical or similar role in the district. If we are somewhat overstaffed at some of our schools, great, this would alleviate much of the stress employees have been feeling over the past several years filling vacant positions. We believe that our educators and school personnel are invaluable assets who play crucial roles in shaping our children's futures and maintaining a sense of normalcy during these uncertain times. We urge you to consider this petition seriously for the betterment of our community and its future leaders – our children. Please sign this petition if you stand with us in supporting all staff members within our schools.
