@jbpascal @netters38 @SharonGF_NBCT @NateForUtah @myuea @UtahDemocrats Thank you! That is extremely helpful. So if I understand correctly, Lines 196-197 aren't promising additional $4200 even if Fits All failed, just maintaining raise from 2008ish?

@jbpascal @netters38 @SharonGF_NBCT @NateForUtah @myuea @UtahDemocrats I still need help Jay. Why is $6000 total adjustment w/ 4200 to salary used in all explanations when the bill has always said $8400 total in lines 184-185? What is the breakdown of that $8400? Thanks ahead of time.

@CameronMVM Huge subsidy -- even multi-millionaires get over $2900 public $ diverted per #uted student. A family with 4 kids making well into six figures gets 1.5x WPU ($5800+) per student. https://t.co/lE4vorwMZd Lines 148-157

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

Voucher bills have been part of the coordination in numerous states as well. Local proponents downplay subsidizing cost of reputable private schls for rich--Waterford, Rowland Hall, American Heritage $20k to 34k--claiming to actually help "trapped" poor people.#uted #utpol #utleg

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

Average #uted students will be able to afford Charlie Kirk's online Turning Point Academy for an accurate view of civics and everything else https://t.co/vrZa950FQ4 So they can use false indoctrination claims to *actually* indoctrinate for fun and profit! #utpol #utleg #profiteer

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

Others have documented how the 10+ #uted "curriculum transparency" bills (counting nonpublic bills) are part of coordinated national strategy to falsely claim public ed. is corrupting Utah's youth. #utpol #utleg https://t.co/QpVcewLlQH

The #utleg social announcements at end are often revealing. The Senate just announced a dinner tonight at Grand America to be schmoozed by the Utah Lake Restoration grifters wanting public handout of lands. #utpol #opposingrealscientistscantaffordlobbyists

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

Not to mention unrevealed bills on "school board transparency" &removal, more school turnaround changes(forced charters?) multiple #uted funding &innovatn bills from conflicted Fillmore, moving State School Board from public vote,Truancy Enforcement Moratorium/McCay #utpol #utleg

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

Definitely temporary.Besides this bill maybe returning, list of #uted Boxcar Bills https://t.co/0hWk8bhfsZ (scroll to bottom)has 7-10 similar ticking bomb bills, including 2 by Teuscher: Education Book Review Process/Ivory, Education Curriculum Prohibitions/Johnson..#utpol #utleg

This is a temporary win. I'll take the win, but watch. It will be back in some form. It's a bad bill, but this one is a zombie too. #uted #utpol #utleg

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

still cont. Online Course Access Amendments/Birkeland, Parental Rights in Child's Education/Lyman, Parental Rights in Public Education/Johnson, Parental Rights Ombudsman Program, School Curriculum Transparency Requirements/Robertson #uted #utpol #utleg #falseagenda

My immediate reaction to #HB183 was how are supposedly constitution-loving leg. leaders giving executive powers to themselves? This isn't power struggle; it's straight up inserting #utleg over day-to-day #uted operations. #utpol #localcontrolhypocrites https://t.co/x63WLvx0qY

4/4 Multiple #uted charters have faced sanctions past few yrs for misusing special ed. funds, including at least one run by Charter Solutions. Now Fillmore is just codifying the practice. #SB118 #utpol #utleg #itseasytolobbyyourself

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

3/Charter Solutions Lincoln Fillmore has #SB114, but also has #SB118 in #utleg Sen #uted Cmmttee Thurs. Sep. 27 to increase special ed. $ to charters, then specifically authorize sped $ to be used for construction costs if 1 special ed student would "reasonably" benefit #utpol

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

2/ In addition though, I feel like the #utleg runs some controversial high profile issues that they really do support, but they also help divert public time & energy from noticing other sneaky stuff. #utpol

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

1/ #SB134 and #HB234 are just red meat thrown to those who believe the false idea that our neighbors who work in #uted public schools are maliciously and secretly indoctrinating the youth of UT. They deserve the outcry and hopefully will be rejected. #utpol #utleg

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

@downrightdave OK, breaking a few rules.
1. Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
2. Barenaked Ladies - Hanukkah, O Hanukkah
3. The entire Home Alone soundtrack...but if you must pick one, White Christmas by the Drifters is by far the best version of that song.

[UtahTeacher @UtahTeacher]

OK, wearing masks in proximity & at schools, no optional events w crowds, many jobs from home = no brainers. But I think deciding about #uted in person is HARD. Ignoring all politics, as parent & teacher, virtual ed is less quality & quantity. Worth more risk than sports. #utpol
