Paralegal Chosen for School Board

In Jordan, Utah, paralegal and accountant Carmen R. Freeman won the precinct 1 seat on the Jordan School Board, according to unofficial returns. Freeman will take office next month. Although Freeman has no prior experience in education, a survey of his neighborhood motivated his candidacy.

"Forty-two percent of the population in my precinct area are 18 years of age or younger," Freeman said. "Our number one challenge will be growth, and how to get funds appropriated in the best manner."
