Class Size Reduction Amendments

This bill amends Utah's existing class size reduction funding rules to better target resources. It directs current funds toward local school districts with the highest need, specifically for kindergarten through grade 3 classrooms (replacing the prior K-8 focus), and requires 50% of allocated funds to reduce class sizes in kindergarten through grade 2 with an emphasis on reading skills. School districts receiving funds must report how money was spent and its impact on class sizes and reading scores. The bill does not create new funding but allows for inflation adjustments to the existing appropriation.
