Parent Access to Learning Materials Pilot Program

HB 325 creates a three-year pilot program allowing parents in participating Utah schools to access learning materials used in classrooms. It requires selected elementary schools (starting 2025-26, with possible secondary expansion in 2026-27) to implement teacher incentives like stipends or extra professional hours, and to share instructional content digitally, send regular emails about lessons, and provide access instructions. The state will fund the program with $350,000 for fiscal year 2026, and participating schools must submit baseline data and annual reports on parent and teacher feedback. The program directly affects parents, teachers, and the three to five selected school districts or charter schools.
