We want JSD to explore sponsoring H1B Visas for our experienced guest teachers. Other Utah districts currently sponsor these visas and we are loosing good teachers to them.
Why is this important?
We are immersion parents who would like to keep experienced, quality guest teachers in our district by sponsoring H1B Visas. We have lost great teachers to other Utah School Districts who are willing to do this. Having a new teacher every year or every couple years is very difficult and not optimal to the educational environment. While there is a cost associated with the visas, there is a cost to training and support of new teachers as well; the difference is our children benefit more from experience than new teacher training. We want this issue studied and considered ASAP as teachers need to know by end of September.
