The SLCSD Way

The SLCSD Way expresses collective commitment to good governance and collaborative practices that advance our shared vision of excellence and equity as we work to increase student achievement, build a Dignity District, and become the flagship district in the state. 

The SLCSD Way describes our collective work as an organization. We treat all people with dignity and establish collaborative environments where students can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. We engage multiple voices as we make informed decisions, focused on students, in alignment with policy and guidance. We communicate clearly about the reasoning and context behind our decisions. We create welcoming schools grounded in a culture of belonging for all students, families, employees, and community members.

Across the district, we advance the SLCSD Way by working together to uphold our responsibilities, gain and retain trust through operational consistency and fairness, and deliver the supports and resources necessary to be Utah’s flagship district.
