A proposal from Sen. Lincoln Fillmore had many public education advocates worried teachers would soon be faced with a burdensome and unnecessary transparency law.

Last year was rough for teachers because of the pandemic, and they’re facing a lot of the same challenges again this year.

Recent tax collection estimates have given lawmakers more money to work with this year, including an additional $315 million in education funding. That means many school programs that were cut during the 2020 Legislative session stand a good change of being reinstated.

A proposal, passed in a legislative committee meeting Wednesday, would give teachers and school staff one-time bonuses. However, it would leave out Salt Lake City teachers if the district does not offer in-person classes by Jan. 19.

Teachers and school staff have been bumped up on Utah’s priority list to get a COVID-19 vaccination. Starting Friday, some Utahns will be asked to complete contact tracing online rather than over the phone.
