School voucher bill fails 22-53 in Utah House vote
SALT LAKE CITY — The "Hope Scholarship" bill, which offered financial help for people to take their children from public schools to private schools, homeschooling or other educational options, failed in a 22-53 vote on Monday.
Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden, sought to replace the voucher with an education tax credit that he argued was more equitable. Rep. Joel Briscoe, D-Salt Lake City, said he believed the bill took increasingly more amounts of money from the public education system.
