SALT LAKE CITY — Utah state legislators from both sides of the aisle fielded questions Thursday about education policy and how to create equal opportunities for all Utahns in the wake of a pandemic that's had a disproportionate impact on already-struggling communities.
The United Way of Salt Lake hosted the hourlong Q&A session featuring prerecorded responses from legislative leaders and prominent members of both parties.
"One of the things we need to do, I think, the most, is to be able to fund education," said Senate President Stuart Adams in response to a question about how to get Utah students "back on track."
