Utah Fits All Court ruling explained: What it means for school choice, students & teacher pay
A Utah judge has ruled the Utah Fits All Scholarship program unconstitutional — but the story is far from over. In this episode, Rep. Candice Pierucci and Sen. Kirk Cullimore, the original sponsors of the program, break down what the ruling actually means, why the scholarship is still active, and what comes next for the thousands of Utah families and teachers impacted.
They discuss how the program was designed to prioritize low- and middle-income families, how it ties into the largest teacher pay raise in Utah history, and why they remain confident that Utah Fits All will ultimately prevail.
