Utah and Utah cities top many national lists and surveys for jobs, entrepreneurship, and quality of life. But unfortunately another list reveals a systemic risk to our state’s success—Utah ranks dead last nationally in per student education spending. For years, our state government has chosen to prioritize other funding concerns over those of our children’s and our state’s futures. Utah classrooms hold too many students, and Utah teachers do not have sufficient resources or support to address the needs of individual students while ensuring a meaningful education for all.
