I want to join the Provo group, but I can’t be the leader. People in Provo need to stand up.
Linda, I don’t know of a group in Provo, but I do have a really great lady who would be willing to help get one started with you. Give me a call 801 830 9249
Nathan, were you able to connect on Provo? I am in the process of updating the group information so let me know if there is anything I can add.
I would love to be part of the Sevier group, if there is one. I can’t be in charge of organizing it together due to being in my 8th pregnancy, working 2 jobs from home, etc. I would love to get involved though, so please keep that in mind.
Sincerely,
Angela brown

I have been posting and re-posting information so parents in Grand County can make decisions concerning their child’s education. Many in our district have opted their children out of the SAGE testing. We do not have a group, per se, but are talking and discussing amongst ourselves and it has been effective. Thank you and keep the info coming……I will continue to make sure it is available to parents in Grand County.
Do you have correct emails for the state board or b oard members; I tried to send my ‘return to parental rights’ letter & it came back unable to send with that email that you posted.
Thanks

I’m in Provo and my concerns have reached new heights since discovering my kids charter school has changed their math curriculum has changed to a common core text book. I want this poison out of my state and if my charter wants to use it, then I want to be able to have a choice as a parent and use a different school who teaches a different curriculum. But if they all have it, that leaves me with no choices. I’m very concerned. The SAGE testing I could opt out of, but now what?
I submitted my name to the Granite District parent group but haven’t heard anything back. I understand someone else’s time table may not be mine, so any feedback on when more information about this group will be forthcoming would be helpful.
