Education
As a large share of Utah’s state budget and a key input to economic development, education plays a significant role in the Utah economy. The Gardner Institute’s team specializes in education funding and the relationship between education and the Utah economy. Our team prepares data and studies on Utah’s K-12 and higher education systems and the connection to our state’s economy.
