Utah PTA Resolution: 
Impact on Children: 

This bill creates a mechanism for USBE to make allowance for schools that cannot fill positions on their School Community Council. Without a functioning SCC, schools should not be given their Trust Land funds. This will allow USBE to work with the school and find a way to resolve the issue.

National PTA and Utah PTA Resolutions:
