(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Parents walk their Escalante Elementary students to class in Salt Lake City on January, 25, 2021. The district's school board came under fire by state auditors with the release of an audit on Dec. 13, 2022. The report said the board hasn't properly closed schools when needed and has failed to help students improve their standardized test scores.
