Seghini, Draper Mayor Darrell H. Smith, Sandy Mayor Tom Dolan, and Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon.
“We, as mayors, encourage the Board and Superintendent to not allow the efforts of a few to distract you from important educational goals and urge them to continue to put the parents and children of Canyons School District first. Change is always difficult, but we stand firmly behind the Board of Education and Superintendent. You have our full support as we work together for the families and students we all serve,” the letter states.
