Jordan District
The Ken Garff Automotive Group has provided an excellent opportunity to motivate and reward Jordan School District high school students with the Keys to Success program. Robert H. Garff, CEO of Ken Garff Automotive Group and a current member of Gov. Olene Walkers Commission on Literacy, desired to extend to the secondary schools the successful Read with a Child program that was offered to elementary schools.
The Jordan Board of Education fully supports the high school students involvement in this worthy program. A most worthy part of Keys to Success is the flexibility afforded to principals in using the program to motivate students.
Criteria used to determine which students may earn the right to a key.
