New disputed law might restrict state's expenditures

Yeah, that's a great show of conservative principles - take control away from local school boards and put it in the hands of a central bureaucracy.

Brilliant.

Uh Huh,
don't you know that they know what better for us than we do?

They are the enlighten ones.... From the dark side..

It is obvious that the more "hoops" educators need to jump through to receive funding, the less they will try. This is a giant step backward -- we will as a result of this bill ask for and receive less federal funding and thus our students will get less of their fair share of funding. Something that is not new to the students and parents of Utah.

It is time someone put a check on the State Board of Education. The whole organization needs a shake up. The method of electing State Board Members is flawed. The Board would not know educational reform if it bit them on the back side. It is time to do away with the State Board and start over.

What you mean by "education reform" is really privatization and destruction of public education.

I won't argue the State School Board isn't at times bureaucratic and inefficient like all government entities, but when the legislature criticizes the board, it's the pot calling the light grey kettle black.

Education has been broken down for over 50 years and the result is more departments and control by educators with more layers to get through. yes I am over seventy and no longer in secondary ed.
