Utah lawmakers begin massive overhaul of public education statutes
SALT LAKE CITY — Four bills that tidy up the state's public education statutes sailed through the House and Senate on Monday, opening day of the 2018 Utah Legislature.
Two House and two Senate bills seek to clean up the massive education code, eliminate obsolete language and reorganize the statutes that address the state system of public education, funding and local operation of the state's public school system.
