Summary
The board recognized Davis Adult Education (Canyon Heights) for statewide top performance and celebrated coordinator Marcy Flocken’s retirement announcement after leading the program to top measurable gains across the state.
The Davis School District Board recognized the Davis Adult Education program (Canyon Heights) for receiving a Utah State Board of Education award for measurable skill gains and for achieving the highest overall measurable skill‑gain percentage in the state.
Brad Christiansen, who directs student family resources, and Marcy Flocken, the program coordinator, described the program’s reach — serving learners aged 16 and older at three sites including Kaysville and Clearfield and providing GED, adult‑education and English language instruction. Christiansen said the program was recognized on Oct. 7 by the Utah State Board of Education as among the top programs statewide. "Our Davis Adult Education program ... had the highest percent of students that have made measurable academic gains," he said.
Marcy Flocken told the board she will retire in January and reflected on teamwork, the program’s doubling of enrollment over the past decade and her pride in staff. The board and superintendent presented a plaque and thanked staff and partners, including Tina Carper for counseling work that supports transitions into postsecondary opportunities.
What’s next: The district will plan for leadership transition at Davis Adult Education; the board thanked Flocken for her decades of service and recognized staff and community partners for their role in the program’s success.
