Political Action
The Utah Legislative Session
The Utah State Legislative Session begins around the third week of January and runs for 45 days, ending in early March. Hundreds of bills are introduced each legislative session.
The Politics of Public Education
Elected officials make decisions that impact teachers on a daily basis. From funding decisions to working conditions, public policy makers make political decisions that have very real consequences in the classroom. Therefore, the UEA takes a leadership role in urging the Utah State Legislature and State Board of Education to prioritize public school funding, promote quality teaching and learning, and ensure that school employees are valued and respected.
