And, lor the past two years, the state has spent less per student than any other state and the District of Columbia, according to the UFA. The state ranked 46th in student , spending among the states in when Utah spent an average $2,080 per student, compared with $2,960 nationally. The following year, which came in the wake of publication of "A Nation at Risk." Mr. Rusted said Ctali slipped to last place with a expenditure of $2,034. compared with a national average of $3,183. school year. During the 1984-8Utah spent $2,183 per student, compared to $3,413 nationally, and the state remained in 51sl place. "These are disgraceful statistics." said Mrs. Condie. "Maybe we're shifting money around from one area to another and calling it reform. Maybe its an illu B-- 1582-113- sion. We may be making steps in education reform, but we re not paying for reform," she said. "Herhaps the gap is widening in terms of expenditure and salaries because other states are putting large amounts of new money into education to strengthen and improve it. We haven't done this." said Mrs. Condie. Only the UFA and a handlul of educators. including former C.S. Education Secretary Terrel Bell, have called for significant funding increases for education, she said "A disaster in education is brew mg on the basis of funding." said the CEA president Mrs. Condie said most of the states which embraced the education-re-formovement in a big way put $100 million or more new dollars into their educational establishments. "We put some money in teacher career ladders, but have refused to fund the weighted pupil unit as much as necessary." said the CEA leader. The weighted pupil unit is the basic ingredient of the formula used by the state to subsidize local schools. Mrs. Condie said the teacher's organization will be aggressive in pointing out what it perceives to tie Utah's educational funding needs when the 1986 Legislature convenes next week "We re not willing to sit back and listen lo the gloom and doom about what we can't aflord m education "We have to take the position that tor the lullin' ot this state, we have to make the necessary funding decisions." said Mrs. Condie In the past, the CEA leader said the stale handled its education-fundinproblems by holding teacher pj back and putting more students in al classrooms "If past solutions continue tu be applied. we might have to start cutting programs as well." said Mrs. Condie g ready-crowde- S.L.
