Governor Spencer Cox and Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson called attention to legislation promoting public education, one of which will be providing $700 million for Utah's K-12 system.
"We tried to appropriate it in a way that allowed a lot of flexibility for districts and schools to decide what best helps students," said Rep. Susan Pulsipher, R-West Jordan, the sponsor of the bill.
"It was a $42 million appropriation, so roughly 5,000 students in our state will initially be able to qualify for this," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman."That averages three students per school. I view it as a release valve on the system for parents who are looking for alternative options. Honestly, we know a one size fits all doesn’t work.""I think it’s just bad policy for our students and bad policy for Utah taxpayers.
"They get to socialize more. They learn to get along. That’s what kindergarten’s about. But it gives them the head start, right? They’re reading, their letters, colors, numeracy, everything," he said.
