Utah's Education Push: Tech & Reading

Utah Governor Spencer Cox and First Lady Abby Cox, a former teacher, highlighted the states focus on education during a bill signing ceremony at Valley Elementary School in Eden. They emphasized the importance of books and reading, citing concerns over declining literacy rates due to excessive screen time. The new bills aim to address this issue by promoting model policies for tech and AI in classrooms, banning devices during school hours, launching dyslexia screening pilots, and adding digital skills courses for middle school students. Cox himself has taken steps to reduce his social media use and increase his reading, setting an example for leaders and families.
