America At Its Best: Network Leaders Secure Transformational Education Reform in Utah

Education reforms continue to sweep the nation as families demand better options beyond the status quo. SPN partnered with the Libertas Institute and the in-state coalition to help Utah pass historic education reform through the “Utah Fits All” Scholarship, a universal Education Savings Account Program. This reform will enable 5,000 families in the first year to access education funds to find an education that meets their needs.

In this episode, Connor Boyack, CEO of the Libertas Institute, and SPN director of education policy initiatives, Jane McEnaney, share how the SPN Network leveraged the collective influence of individual organizations and worked alongside state legislators to secure education freedom for families in Utah. As more students seek access to new education opportunities, Connor and Jane share Libertas and SPN’s plans to help education entrepreneurs break down regulatory barriers and expand innovative learning models to meet demand.
