Ogden School District announces slew of administrative changes

OGDEN — The Ogden School District has shuffled its deck of administrators, moving many around and discarding at least one, in hopes of building a winning hand to take the underperforming district into a more promising future.

Thirteen of the district’s 20 schools will see personnel changes.

Superintendant Brad Smith on Monday announced the hires for three new district positions created last month, and he named seven new principals and five new assistant principals, some new to the positions and others just moving between schools.

Elementary students send cards to wounded officers

OGDEN -- Christy Vu wants to thank the police officers in Ogden for protecting her and risking their lives every day to do so.

The 9-year-old Lincoln Elementary School student said she felt very sad when Ogden Police Officer Jared Francom was killed and five other officers were wounded early in January.

Christy, along with several of her classmates who are part of the YMCA after-school program, recently made get-well cards for Ogden Police Officers Shawn Grogan, Kasey Burrell and Michael Rounkles, Weber County Sheriff's Sgt. Nate Hutchinson and Roy Police Officer Jason Vanderwarf.

Summertime school means summer games, too

LAYTON -- Most students in Davis County are done with school until fall, but a couple of schools have students braving the hot days in the classroom as they finish up their year-round course before letting out for the summer.

School districts offer free summer lunches

OGDEN -- The summer free-lunch program for children up to age 18 begins Monday in most local school districts.

At schools where 50 percent or more students were eligible for free or reduced lunches during the school year, the meals continue through most of the summer. All local school districts except Morgan have schools that qualify.

"It's so students can have something to eat when school is out," said Charlene King, child nutrition coordinator for the Weber School District. "It's open to anyone 18 or younger, and it's because of the importance of good nutrition."
