One of the issues I am passionate about during this Legislative session is making sure my district (and all of Salt Lake County for that matter) is protected from any inequitable school district splits.
Rep. Craig Hall proposed a bill, HB 93, that would prevent a city from initiating a school district split if they take more than 105% of the revenue over expenses. After speaking with my county council colleagues and Mayor McAdams, we are supporting this bill. We have also been working with cities who may have concerns to make sure their issues are addressed.
I firmly believe that education funding should be equalized. No student in Utah should have fewer dollars spent on their education just because they live in an area that generates less tax revenue.
So far HB 93 has passed out of committee. Call your Legislators and let them know you support this bill!!
