Endorsements

Kristan Nortan is a great resource for Wayne County and has served us well on the Utah State Board of Education.  I appreciate her efforts to communicate issues USBE is dealing with and ask for input from the stakeholders she represents prior to making decisions that will affect us.  She works hard to advocate with the legislature for her constituents, as well.  As an active educator herself, Kristan understands the needs and issues all stakeholders are facing in public education today.  She brings a much needed perspective to USBE.
Randy Shelly
Wayne County
Board Member Norton is a great advocate for Utah students and rural schools. She understands current education issues because she still works in a classroom. She is fully invested in improving outcomes for all students regardless of zip code. Piute County has benefited from her strong leadership and support. She has helped ensure our students and teachers have the resources and guidance they need to be successful.
