Utah schools cannot go remote-only during COVID-19 outbreaks, without legislative approval
One mom on social media wrote: “I had no idea that they couldn't shutdown schools for outbreaks. I am rethinking everything.” Another said: “So they’re going to keep schools open no matter how many students and staff are sick?”
Last fall, schools with outbreaks could close for two weeks of virtual learning in coordination with local health officials.
Sen. Todd Weiler (R-Woods Cross) ushered in the change earlier this year with Senate Bill 107. Now, schools can only go remote-only with approval from the governor, the leaders of both legislative chambers and the state superintendent.

Paris ISD to require masks as part of dress code
"The Texas Governor does not have the authority to usurp the Board of Trustees’ exclusive power and duty to govern and oversee the management of the public schools of the district. Nothing in the Governor’s Executive Order 38 states he has suspended Chapter 11 of the Texas Education Code, and therefore the Board has elected to amend its dress code consistent with its statutory authority," the district stated in a press release after the meeting.
