Utah PTA Resolution: 
Impact on Children: 

Utah PTA is opposed to vouchers. Limiting the scope of the current voucher program is therefore a good idea. Public funds should not be used for things like ski passes and gear, which are a good example of items that would be prohibited by this legislation.

National PTA and Utah PTA Resolutions: 

That Utah PTA and its constituent associations oppose funding mechanisms such as vouchers, tax credits, deductions.
