Judge postpones decision on Utah school choice/voucher lawsuit


A judge in Salt Lake City has postponed a ruling on Utah’s school choice scholarship program, which critics claim acts as a voucher system diverting money from public education. Judge Laura Scott has requested additional information from lawyers involved in the case, leading to a delay in the anticipated decision. The judge noted the absence of legislative history in the arguments presented so far, prompting her to seek further explanations from all parties by February, with a new ruling expected in March.

The program in question, the Utah Fits All scholarship program, provides up to $8,000 to families to move their students to private schools or cover other schooling expenses. Lawmakers have allocated $82.5 million in taxpayer funds to the program, with discussions underway to potentially expand it. The Utah Education Association, which is suing over the program, has expressed approval of the delay and looks forward to providing additional input to the court. This delay comes at a crucial time during the Utah State Legislature’s ongoing session.
