With Pandemic, Consider Split Schools; But, How do We Fund Them?

    Perhaps, with the pandemic, Utah should further consider split-session schools. Class sizes would be cut in half. Social distancing would be easier.

   Is it for lack of funding that this is not being done? You would have to hire twice as many teachers. Where would the money come from? Should we this year have repeated the initiative from 2018, asking voters to approve a gasoline tax increase? It failed then. Why would it pass now?

  In considering funding, one wonders if voluntary contributions should be encouraged. Could we not open a kitty for volunteer funding? Down in the gym, post the names of the 100 top contributors each year, with their amounts. Then, list all who donated anything at all, in alphabetical order.
