The Salt Lake City Council appointed Sarah Young, chief of staff at the Utah State Board of Education, to fill the District 7 seat vacated this month by Amy Fowler.
In 2012, Young joined the Utah State Board of Education, where she has held a variety of roles. In 2021, she was appointed chief of staff to the superintendent.
She holds a master’s degree in education from Lesley University in Massachusetts and a bachelor’s in environmental population organism biology from the University of Colorado — Boulder. She also served as an Albert Einstein Fellow with the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C. “As a candidate,” she told the council during her interview, “I’m committed to working with the council to create coherent policies and systems that improve opportunities for all members of our community while still honoring the local control that’s essential to city residents.”
