Jordan Buxton

Region 6 Vice-President

Jordan Buxton has served on the Circle USD 375 Board of Education since January 2022. She also currently serves as the Region 6 Vice-President on the KASB Board of Directors.

Jordan is a parent to three children in the Circle School District. She formerly served as the PTO President at Circle Oil Hill Elementary. She ran for her local Board of Education because she saw it as an opportunity to advocate for students, families and teachers.

Jordan is also very active in her community outside of her position as a board member. She acts as a Strategy and Innovation Consultant for Sevenfold, a Hutton Company.  She developed a workforce initiative called, The Butler County ACT - A Workforce Enhancement Project, which received a national Work Ready Community certification. Jordan serves as the facilitator for Leadership Butler and redesigned the curriculum to meet growing needs and challenges in the community. She also participated in the Kansas Emerging Leaders program and now serves on the KEL advisory board.  

Jordan has a passion for advocating for public education at the local and legislative levels. In USD 375, she hopes to work with the other board members to define student success for their district and equip the BOE, administration, educators, staff, students, and families with the resources they need to achieve that success. As a KASB Board member, she aims to bridge the gap between Kansas legislators and boards. She plans to connect, listen, and learn from fellow board members in Region 6 about their challenges and obstacles and translate that into better education policies in the legislature.

Jordan grew up in Emporia, Kansas, and speaks highly of her principal, Mr. Scott Sheldon, who made learning fun, held her accountable, and has remained a constant presence in her life. He is an example to her of what it means to be a student representative.

Her favorite book is "Wherever You Go, There You Are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn. It serves as a reminder to her always to remain present and appreciate everything you have.
