Education receives 72% of all new money in governor’s budget
“Herbert’s new $16.7 billion budget proposes to spend $275 million more on education — with $208 million for grades K-12, and the rest for higher education. The total budget for education is $9 billion. That extra money includes an increase of $170 million in flexible local school money distributed to school districts through what is called the weighted pupil unit (WPU), based on how many and what types of students each district has.”
