Utah PTA Response
Utah PTA Position
Support w/ Comment

Utah PTA supports a strong funding system for our K-12 public schools.  This year's Public Education Base Budget Bill proposes significant funding formula changes to several important programs. These changes are problematic because they create winners and losers among LEAs by giving additional funding to some while taking funding from others.  This could cause a loss of programs needed to support our students.

This bill outlines how the funding for Public Education will be spent this year.
