Utah families have more education options than ever before. But knowing those options exist and figuring out which one is right for your child can be difficult.

In this special Defending Ideas conversation, Sutherland Institute Education Policy Fellow Christine Cook Fairbanks joins Nic Dunn to introduce the Utah Schools Navigator, a new resource to help Utah parents explore their education options, understand their rights, and make informed decisions for their children.

At UtahSchools.org, parents can search for schools near them, explore different education models, learn about their rights, and even get one-on-one help navigating Utah’s education landscape.

The goal isn’t to steer families toward one type of education. Whether a parent is considering a traditional district school, charter school, private school, homeschool, microschool, or another option, the Utah Schools Navigator is designed to help families understand what’s available and choose what works best for their child.

There are intense debates over school choice in K–12 education. But why?

Shaka Mitchell from The American Federation for Children and Sutherland Institute's Christine Cooke Fairbanks examine one of the biggest debates in education policy: why education choice is uncontroversial in preschool and college but often becomes a court fight when it comes to grade school.

They discuss the philosophy behind school choice, a new federal tax credit scholarship program, and why advocates see school choice as a way to expand opportunities for students and families.

The school choice movement has been riding high in recent years, mostly because parents are demanding better education options for their children.

In this interview from Defending Ideas, Shaka Mitchell from the American Federation for Children and Sutherland Institute's Christine Cook Fairbanks discuss school choice's deep roots in American history, why one system cannot meet the needs of millions of different students, and why scholarships and vouchers are facing political and legal pushback.

The conversation also examines state constitutional requirements for public schools, and why funding a traditional public school system should not prevent states from creating additional opportunities for families.

With roughly 55 million children in the United States, it is unrealistic to expect one education system to meet every student’s needs. Shaka Mitchell of the American Federation for Children explains that education should be flexible enough to serve children as individuals, rather than forcing every child into the same model.
