AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current law, the size of educator salary bonuses in fiscal year 2026 depends on whether the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program — the state's private school voucher program — is actively funded and operating, with educators receiving $10,350 if the program is running and only $5,175 if it is not. This bill changes that structure so that educators receive the full $10,350 salary adjustment even if the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program has been blocked or struck down through a court challenge. Licensed public school educators — including classroom teachers, counselors, and school psychologists — would receive the higher salary adjustment regardless of the outcome of any ongoing litigation over the voucher program.
