National PTA and Utah PTA Resolutions:
That Utah PTA and its constituent associations support additional flexibility for refugee students throughout the enrollment and placement process, including, but not limited to, flexibility regarding age, guardianship, and identity documentation, to ensure schools have accurate information; additional time for obtaining final vaccinations if compliance is likely, as refugees learn to navigate Utah’s healthcare system; and additional flexibility in the acceptance and translation of prior educational experience into Utah credits, ensuring each student is placed in the appropriate grades and classes
Utah PTA Legislative Policy:
Equity in the form of equal justice, privileges, opportunities, and responsibilities in every phase of life for all children and youth, while recognizing that each child is unique with individual needs and talents.
Equal opportunity for housing, education, health care, employment, and rights under the justice system
