School District Splits / Reorganization
I am concerned about the legislation passed last year which is fueling the discussion of whether to split-up the Granite and Jordan school districts.
It's not that I either favor or oppose such a move, but rather the financial consequences that are being explored.
It seems to me that if the legislature wants to let population organize school districts for the good of the local children, then it should have provided a means to equalize core capital expenses.
For example, could the state fund and supply the building of a schools. The state would supply a "base model" school that would meet the essentials of education and then the local districts could add on options. For example, Park City, may want to upgrade the interior finishing of a new school built there. This would be funded by the local population because it would be above and beyond. This way, everyone rural and urban in the state would be given at least a common starting point.
What can the state legislature do to help further enable local school district reorganization in light of what we have learned about the Granite and Jordan split proposals?

I feel the school system such as the Granite school district are the ones that are out of control to control. I have spoke with several, many parents main concern of the school system, they have no control because to many boundries being covered. Life and our loved ones attending the Granite School District would have more attention to what is going on with the administration. Granite School District needs to be split now!
