Utah Code § 53G-7-1206 (2019)
Permissible uses of School LAND Trust Program funds School LAND Trust Program expenditures are required to have a direct impact on the instruction of students in the particular school’s areas of most crucial academic need. The school community council shall use School LAND Trust Program funds in data-driven and evidence-based ways to improve educational outcomes, including strategies that are measurable and show academic outcomes with multi-tiered systems of support and counselors and educators working with students and families on academic and behavioral issues when a direct impact on academic achievement can be measured. School LAND Trust Program funds may not be used (a) to cover the fixed costs of doing business, (b) for construction, maintenance, facilities, overhead, security, or athletics, or (c) to pay for non- academic in-school, co-curricular, or extracurricular activities. A school community council may budget and spend up to $7,000 for in-school civic and character education, including student leadership skills training and digital citizenship training. However, such funds may be used for an in-school civic or character education program or activity only if the plan clearly describes how the program or activity has a direct impact on the instruction of students in the school’s areas of most critical academic need. A school may use School LAND Trust Program funds as needed to implement a student’s Individualized Education Plan. Student incentives implemented as part of an academic goal in the School LAND Trust Program may not exceed $2 per awarded student in an academic school year. Utah Admin.
