Summary


These rule changes contain the changes recommended by the Board's Trust Advisory Committee. The purpose of these amendments is to allow School Community Councils to use program funds for items that in the past may have been considered behavioral, but are academic in nature, have been shown to be critical academic needs in some schools, display measurable academic improvement and directly impact the instruction of students. It also provides technical, conforming, and stylistic changes in accordance with the Rulewriting Manual for Utah and Board policies e.g. changing the Interest and Dividends Account to the Trust Earnings Account to reflect the change in the account name made during the 2018 General Session (H.B. 404) and updating references to statute.
