Utah

Senate Bill 44 from Senator Fillmore combines the Carson Smith and Special Needs Opportunity Scholarships into one program, eliminating the bureaucracy and thus making access to the program easier for families. 
This expansion is exciting, and we are looking forward to how the legislature further expands the scholarship in the future. 
Utah public schools receive $11,000 per student, $3,000 more than private schools. Funding sources include state, local, and federal contributions.
Schools need to take a deep look at their practices. There is something keeping students from attending school, and it isn’t a lack of punishment.

Utah is often ridiculed by media and public school proponents for having the least amount of money spent per student on education. They aren’t wrong, but they also aren’t telling the whole story.
