Utah governor says he’d veto school voucher proposal

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is planning on vetoing a school voucher measure advancing through the Republican-majority statehouse. The legislation would provide families who choose not to enroll their children in public schools thousands of dollars to be used toward private education. The idea is winning support in Utah and elsewhere as parents’ groups increasingly scrutinize choices made by public school administrators about public health precautions and curriculum decisions. It passed through a House committee on Tuesday and would need to clear the entire Utah House and Senate before reaching Cox for a signature or veto.
