2010 Legislative Report Card

During the 2010 Session, PCE introduced and advocated for legislation that would bring more innovation, accountability, efficiency in funding, and parental empowerment to Utah's K-12 education system.

"The status quo can no longer be the standard," states Robyn Bagley, Board Chairman of Parents for Choice in Education. "K-12 education currently represents a third of our state's budget. As we face major budget cuts and the reality that in the U.S. and right here in Utah our students continue to lag behind other industrialized nations, it's imperative for citizens to hold elected officials accountable to implement efficient, innovative, empowering solutions to education that will prepare our children for a 21st century global economy."

This report card chronicles the votes by Senators and Representatives on legislation that offered real solutions to a system that needs to be more responsive to the mounting evidence that we are not keeping pace nor making significant gains. The intent of this report card is to provide information about the positions of your elected officials on critical education policy so that you, their constituents, will be empowered to demand comprehensive solutions.

We encourage you to hold your elected representatives accountable! Be sure to review the report card and see how they voted on the issues that are important to you. Then let your voices be heard. If they were supportive of those issues, be sure to thank them. If they were not, contact them and ask them for an explanation.

Remember, significant improvement in education will not happen unless, you, the parents, taxpayers and citizens demand it.
