Educator Licensing

Licensure is a condition of employment for all certified/licensed positions in Jordan School District. It is the responsibility of the employee to properly obtain and maintain a current license with the state of Utah. Educator licenses and content endorsements are issued by the Utah State Board of Education.

If you have specific questions regarding licensure, please call:

  3. Local Education Agency (LEA)-specific Educator License – a license issued to an individual, approved by the local Board of Education, who has met locally defined competencies to be an educator.

An LEA-specific license area or endorsement may include:
