Cyprus High School, on Friday, Nov. 5, 2021. To go online, a Utah school will now need the signoff of four state leaders, under a bill passed by the Legislature on Monday, Jan. 24, 2022.If a Utah school wants to shift online during a COVID-19 surge, it’s going to have to follow a new and lengthy process — which includes getting approval from the governor.
After that, approval to go online will require signoff from all four of the top-ranking leaders in Utah: the governor, the speaker of the House, the president of the Senate and the state superintendent. It’s unclear how quickly those leaders can or will respond to a request, but their decision will have to be unanimous.
The final version of the multistep requirements were approved with a 55-16 vote in the House. But the new process is causing concern among districts that say they have to be able to act nimbly to control the spread of the coronavirus in the classroom. They fear, with this setup, that they won’t be able to.. “I think it doesn’t take into consideration the dynamic nature of these situations.”
Republicans once again showing that government involvement in our childrens education and our spchildrens health is what big government is for and boy are they for it!
State leaders who have no experience in healthcare or education management should not have the final word in our childrens health or a districts ability to define its own health. Taking this power from schools districts is foolish and a reprehensible power grab. Utah madness!
