Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Under the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program — which provides state-funded education accounts for students attending private schools or learning at home — this bill prohibits home-based scholarship students from using those scholarship funds and then enrolling in a public school to repeat the same grade level they were already funded for, unless the student has a diagnosed significant learning disability or developmental delay, or experienced extraordinary circumstances beyond their family's control. The bill also requires the program manager to verify grade-level progression when former home-based scholarship students seek to enroll in public schools, and directs public school systems (LEAs) to report instances where a student attempts to repeat a previously scholarship-funded grade.
