Utah County Convention and ACT Test at Salem Hills High School


300 students have paid money and registered to take the ACT Test at Salem Hills High School on April 14, hoping to get the highest score possible so they can attend the college of their choice or get the best scholarship possible.  The Utah County Republican Party moved their April 14 convention to Salem Hills High after problems with the previous location.
Now 1500 county delegates, candidates for all races including statewide races, must maintain a quiet presence in a school where there is ACT testing going on at the same time as elections for republican elected officials.

Fellow Delegates - 

As you may know, the County Convention on April 14th will now be at Salem Hills High.  It is imperative that we are on our best behavior!  There will be ACT testing in half of the school, and parents are concerned that we will be too loud.  The parents have hired police to patrol the school, so we ask that you be extremely respectful to rules and these important tests that determine if these students get into college.

- The only door to the school that we may enter is the North door.  
- Parking is only at the football stadium and tennis court.  Once this parking is full, then we begin parking on the road.  Absolutely no parking in the East parking lot.  This will be monitored by the police.
- Candidate signs can only be placed in the North Lawn.  This is where we enter.
- If an area is marked "No Talk Zone" - that really means No talking.  

The Executive Committee approved an agenda for the Convention.  Room assignments have not been made, but we will let you know them as soon as we hear this.

6:30 - Credentialing opens.  We will credential by Legislative District, so look for District 61.
7:30 - 8:05 - Central Committee Meeting (Precinct Chairs, Vice-Chairs, and Party Leadership) - Auditorium
8:20 - 9:00 - Senate Caucuses
9:15 - 10:15 - House Caucuses
10:30 - General Session begins

We will adjorn when business is completed.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Legislative District 61 Leadership
