We are in last place nationally in per-student spending.
And a new Utah Foundation study shows that the state is down $1.2 billion a year in funding, compared to what we would have been had not any number of personal income tax “reforms” taken place over the last 20 years.
An increase in the tax rate from 5 percent to 5.875 percent would bring in an extra $750 million a year to public schools.
And the petition will say most of that money would be earmarked for individual neighborhood schools.
Some of the larger high schools in the state could see $2 million extra a year under OSN.
