School Overview

The location you provided, 1655 East 3300 South in Salt Lake City, is the administrative and resource hub for the **Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind (USDB) – Region 2**. Rather than serving as a traditional K-12 campus where students attend daily classes, this facility functions as an outreach center and regional office designed to support students who are blind or visually impaired, as well as their families and local school districts throughout the Salt Lake City area.

The primary mission of this office is to provide specialized itinerant services, educational consulting, and resources to help students integrate successfully into their home schools. The staff at this location—which includes Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs) and Orientation and Mobility (O&M) specialists—work collaboratively with local public schools to provide essential accommodations, such as Braille instruction, assistive technology training, and curriculum adaptations. By operating as a regional support center, the office ensures that students across the region receive the individualized attention and specialized tools necessary to access their education alongside their sighted peers.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
