While legislative leaders have not secured a deal with education stakeholders yet, they’re prepared to propose amending the constitution to expand how income tax funds are spent.
On Thursday, the Utah Education Association, the state’s largest teacher’s union, said they were taking a wait-and-see approach to the proposal.
The Utah Board of Education voted to endorse the updated language for the constitutional change last week. “I think we would have the votes either way, but certainly, having that increases the number of votes,” Schultz told The Salt Lake Tribune. However, a successful vote to add the constitutional change to the 2024 ballot does mark the conclusion of the debate on the issue. Lawmakers have offered to boost school funding, but they won’t be able to settle on the size of that increase by the end of this session, which means talks will continue and aim toward a legislative package next year.
