A few years ago the State Board of Education passed a rule restricting the make-up of charter school boards. The restriction took away the ability of schools to define parental involvement for themselves, and instead defined parental involvement as having an elected parent sitting on the governing board.
While that may be one way to involve parents, it's not the only way, and having that as a requirement stands in the way of alternative forms of governance and involvement, and keeps some innovative kinds of schools out of Utah.
Now schools will need to define parental involvement with their parents, instead of meeting an arbitrary standard set by the school board.
