Wasatch County School District Business Administrator Dr. Jason Watt and Director of Secondary Education Stephanie Discher discuss key topics for the school district.
Discher talked about the impact of a 2024 law requiring schools to augment security with armed resource officers, highlighting the positive role of SROs in enhancing school safety and community trust.
Watt addressed the rapid population growth in Wasatch County, noting a 600-student increase at the high school, necessitating a new Deer Creek High School.
