Mike Haynes
State Board of Education – District 11
Hi, I’m Mike Haynes. I’m currently serving on the Utah State Board of Education representing District 11.
I have dedicated much of my life, my time, and energy to support and improve the educational outcomes for students within the state of Utah. I have spent time in the classroom teaching Junior Achievement’s Entrepreneurialism Curriculum, I raise money to meet the needs of the classroom, I led efforts to increase the number of classrooms and schools in our community, and as a member of the State Board I contributed to policy that improves what goes on in the classroom. I love our students, our educators, our administrators, and all of those who do so much for our children in Utah. I’m confident that I will be able to continue to provide the leadership and support this district needs. I’m the right person for this position, and I know if you vote for me, I will continue to use my experience and skills to advance the educational opportunities every child in Utah deserves.
Vision & Values
Helping Students – Everything I do is to help students
Parent Involvement – More parental involvement to help improve our children’s educational outcomes
Funding – Increase teacher pay and reduce class size. Equip our teachers with the tools and training they need and want. Push for more control of funding for our local schools
Social & Emotional Wellness – Ensure all students and teachers have access to counselors, and other mental health professionals
Future Ready – Enhance student preparation to be college, vocational school, or career ready
I support the Utah State Board of Education’s Strategic Direction with goals that include:
Early Learning – Each student starts strong through early grades with a foundation in literacy and numbers
Safe & Healthy Schools – Each student learns in a safe and healthy school environment
Personalized Teaching & Learning – Each student and educator has access to personalized teaching and learning experiences
Effective Educators & Leaders – Each student is taught by effective educators who are supported by effective school leaders
“You could not find a more dedicated, honest, giving person that supports the education of Utah’s kids more than Mike”.
