Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is allowing state employees to work at schools during the staffing shortage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
State employees can take administrative leave to fill in at public and private schools, which have been heavily impacted by COVID-19.
The allowance comes through an executive order issued by Gov. Spencer Cox on Monday. He is asking state employees to use up to 30 hours of paid administrative leave to substitute teach, help in the cafeteria or work elsewhere in schools to ensure students can continue to attend in person through the end of the academic year.
