Public Education

Utah's public schools will receive a historic $101 million from the Permanent State School Fund this year.

The bill tied school vouchers to a popular teacher pay raise proposition.

As Utah public school students return to school, they will find restrooms stocked with free menstrual supplies. HB 162, signed into law earlier this year, requires Utah K-12 public schools to provide period products free of charge to students in their female and unisex restrooms.

Many Utah educators believe the state's schools could be among the country's elite if the state would increase funding.

Utah has a lot of public education options, so much so that parents can struggle comparing them. A new bill in the Utah House would try to make this school comparison process a little easier.
