Abstract: Utah entered fiscal year (FY)2025 with K–12 still organized around the Minimum School Program (MSP) and its core Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU). Lawmakers set the WPU at $4,494 and appropriated an MSP base of $6.949 billion from state, local, and trust sources, preserving the formula's central role and funding enrollment growth and inflation. Targeted one-time investments emphasized school safety ($100 million) and continued growth of Utah Fits All scholarships (raised to $82 million). Utah remained near the bottom nationally on per-pupil spending—$10,333 in FY2023 (49th)—even after an 8% year-over-year increase. In higher education, the state continued performance-based funding and enacted a $147.7 million net reduction to the FY 2025 base of $10.61 billion via House Bill 1, without changing the performance model's structure.
