At the Turn of the Century Local City<\/strong> School Board Members represented local area\u00a0referred\u00a0to as\u00a0Municipal\u00a0Wards:Utah Code 1953<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1953 The area was referred to as a Precinct <\/strong>if you\u00a0represented\u00a0a county school board: 1953 County School Board<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1953 The\u00a0definition\u00a0for a Precinct <\/strong>and District <\/strong>are the reverse of how we define them in 2013:\u00a01953 Definition of Precinct & District <\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1994 HB 84\u00a0Changed\u00a0the word Precinct to District<\/strong>:\u00a0HB 84 (1994)<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2013 The\u00a0definition\u00a0for a\u00a0Precinct<\/strong>\u00a0is:\u00a0Utah Code 20A-5-303<\/a><\/p>\n

Current Law states that Local School Board Members represent DISTRICTS not PRECINCTS:\u00a0Utah Code 20A-14-201<\/a><\/p>\n

For some odd reason, school districts in Utah did not change with the law. My concern is with the Salt Lake City School District. It’s one thing not to change. But then it is pointed out that it is causing confusion among voters. Let’s follow the law and stop the\u00a0confusion. The reply from the Board Vice President Heather Bennett is “all the other districts use Precinct”. That mind-set is frightening\u00a0because\u00a0it explains why the educational outcome of\u00a0students\u00a0will never change. We keep doing the same things over again -WHY?\u00a0Because\u00a0that is the way everyone else is doing it. But if everyone else is wrong, why don’t we change? NOPE, we do it this way\u00a0because\u00a0that is how everyone else is doing it.
