There is a process that they must follow to notice and vote on an increase, and public comment is a significant part of that process. Property taxes are a stable funding mechanism, and restricting their ability to raise those rates could have negative consequences on our schools. Commission: Education Utah PTA Public Policy Program National PTA and Utah PTA Resolutions: Utah PTA and its constituent associations continue to urge the legislature to make public education revenue allocations and funding effort a high priority.
