Sen. Evan Vickers calls for parent volunteers

CEDAR CITY — Following this spring’s graduations and end-of-school-year celebrations, state Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, is inviting parents to take part in a volunteer opportunity.

The opportunity is for three volunteers, first-come, first-served, to serve on the Utah Educational Standards Assessment Committee for grades 3-8.

The volunteers meet for four days in the year, eight hours per day, and review the educational standards for the coming year, which are then implemented by the State Office of Education.

The position is unpaid, but the State Office of Education can arrange and pay for overnight lodging when necessary. The meetings are typically held at the state capitol in Salt Lake City, and while it’s preferred you currently have children attending public schools, it’s not necessary.

Those interested can contact Vickers at evickers@le.utah.gov.
