AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Under current law, the annual salary bonus that licensed public school educators (such as classroom teachers, counselors, librarians, and social workers) receive for fiscal year 2026 is tied to whether the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program — the state's private school voucher program — is funded and operating: educators get $10,350 if the voucher program is active, but only $5,175 if it is not. This bill removes that link, guaranteeing educators the full $10,350 salary adjustment for fiscal year 2026 regardless of the voucher program's funding status, with the change taking effect July 1, 2026.
