The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) has established a limit on trust funds spent on student incentives. The Utah State Board of Administrative Rules R277-477-4: Distributions of Funds from the Trust Distribution Account and Administration of the School LAND Trust Program. Appropriate Use of School LAND Trust Program Funds. states, “(7) 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.”
Some school plans include positive behavior interventions as part of an academic goal. These interventions may include incentives for students. As councils navigate the $2 per incentivized student limit, they may appreciate additional resources to identify free or low-cost incentives.
