  • A judge has struck down the controversial "Utah Fits All" scholarship that critics say is a voucher program siphoning money from the public education system.

A judge in Utah has ruled that the state's "Utah Fits All" voucher program, which would have provided up to $8,000 per student for private education, is unconstitutional. The decision by Third District Judge Keith Kelly stated that the program violates the state's constitution by diverting funds from the public education system, which is mandated to be the primary beneficiary of such funds. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by several public school districts and education associations, arguing that the voucher program would siphon necessary resources away from public schools. The program, which was set to begin in the 2024-2025 school year, aimed to offer scholarships for various educational expenses but has now been halted due to this judicial decision.
