A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Utah State Board of Education regarding instructional mandates for state K-12 schools on December 10, 2024. The request, made by the SLC Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks a list of all instructional mandates for state K-12 schools in Utah.
The requested information includes all required courses and general instruction currently mandated by the state. This is an effort to provide transparency and hold public institutions accountable as part of the SLC Times' commitment to its readership.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is essential for us at SLC Times to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional given our role in disseminating information.
We await the response from the Utah State Board of Education and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
