| Survey: Your Utah Your Future |
|
Our school and our state need your support and your voice in the Your Utah Your Future campaign. Along with concerned leaders and citizens from around Utah, we are asking you to please take a moment to learn about the issues we face as our state grows and share your voice on those issues by taking the Your Utah Your Future survey at envisionutah.org. By adding your voice, you will be able to shape the future of Utah’s education, making it a better place for your children and their children to go to school. Not only will you be helping our state, but our school will also receive $1 for every adult or high school student who takes the survey. There will be an option at the end of the survey to list your school, so please remember to enter our school name when you take the survey. The expected completion time for this survey is from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on how deeply you want to dive into any of the topics.
Governor Herbert initiated Your Utah Your Future as a statewide effort to build a vision for what Utah will be like in the year 2050—when our population will be nearly double what it is now. Envision Utah, a local not-for-profit organization, is working with the governor to lead this effort and has created a survey about the choices Utahns face on a variety of issues including education, jobs, air quality, water resources, transportation, and more. The results will be used to create a vision for the whole state that will become a guide to policy-makers, local governments, businesses, developers, educators, and all of us as we prepare for the future.
