Welcome to The Senate Site

By Carlene Walker
Utah State Senator, District 8

The news reports some of my colleagues are asking Governor Huntsman to call a special session to delay the creation of East and West Jordan School Districts. They are good people and I respect them immensely but I honestly don't see the need.

We knew the division of assets between old and new districts would be a challenging task and we planned ahead for it by listing arbitration as a last resort. Now we seem to be at that point. Let's let the plan work.

The teams have done a good job bringing us as far as they have. Now some outstanding arbitrators will step in and help finish the job. We all knew that this process would not be easy but I remain convinced that all parents and children, east and west, will be better served by smaller, more manageable school districts.
