Jordan District spokesperson Sandra Riesgraf said they’re not eliminating the program, just moving some students to other high schools that have more students in the program.
She said Bingham High School has five special needs students and Herriman has seven. Other schools in the district with the program have more than 20 special needs students enrolled.
