Jason Allen - Independent Candidate running for Utah State Board of Education District 12

Conserve Utah's Public Education

I am committed to building a world-class educational environment in Utah. Public education is personal for me. My boys attend public schools. My daughter is enrolled in Alpine School District's wonderful special education program. My wife is an educator. And I am a proud graduate of Orem High School. As a parent, taxpayer, and proud product of our public schools, I deeply understand the critical importance of a robust public education system.

Unwavering Support for Public Schools

I want to elevate public education, not gut it. I will work every day to build a world-class educational environment that prepares each of Utah's students for a successful career and a lifetime of learning. Solutions must always matter more than extreme ideological agendas. I will work tirelessly to ensure our public education system thrives and reaches its full potential, providing every student with the quality education they deserve.

A Common Sense Approach to Excellence

By focusing on practical solutions and fostering collaboration, my aim is to elevate Utah's public schools to be second to none. I will advocate for improved resources, support our dedicated educators, and create an inclusive environment where all students can succeed. Civility is essential. The State Board of Education should never be used to settle petty personal grievances, ostracize members of our community, or demonize educators who have dedicated their lives to teaching our children. I will always set a tone of positivity and inclusion while improving public education in our state.

A Career of Public Service

I bring over 19 years of experience as a public servant to the Utah State Board of Education. I am committed to conserving and enhancing our public schools to ensure every student receives a high-quality education. Throughout my career, I’ve engaged in collaborative work with legislators to foster an environment of positivity and progress.

My experience as a Utah State Park Ranger has equipped me with the skills to protect and enhance our resources. I will apply these same principles to safeguard and improve our schools, and our most important natural resource - our children.

Three steps to educational success

Step 1: Engage with communities

I will gather input from parents, teachers, and students to understand their needs and challenges.

Step 2: Develop collaborative policies

I will work with legislators to craft policies that support educational excellence and resource allocation.

Step 3: Implement and monitor progress

I will work with fellow board members to ensure the successful implementation of policies and continuously monitor their impact on schools.

“I am an unwavering ally of public education. As a young student who struggled in school, I found teachers, aides, and administrators who worked with me and encouraged me to reach my full potential. I would not be where I am today without my public education.”
