(Des Moines, IA) — Republican Governor Kim Reynolds will expand her school choice plan for parents who want to send their children to a private K-through-12 school. Reynolds said during a weekend appearance at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition event, she says that you should have the right to place your child in an environment where they can thrive. She says that should not just be for families that have the financial resources. Democrat challenger Deidre DeJear says the priority should be to fully fund public schools with public dollars. DeJear made her comments during a weekend speech at the Polk County Democrats Steak Fry.
