(Des Moines, IA) School vouchers are expected to be a priority for Iowa Republicans this legislative session. The school voucher bill would redirect public school funds to private schools, giving low and middle-income families the option to send their kids to private schools. House Speaker Pat Grassley tells Iowa’s News Now that the goal is to even the playing field. House Minority Leader Jennifer Konfrst says Democrats want to focus on funding public schools. The 2023 legislative session begins on January 9.
