(Atlantic) At Wednesday’s School Board Meeting, Atlantic School’s Superintendent Steve Barber outlined Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’ legislative priorities for this session. Barber says, as expected, the Governor’s number one priority is to pass some Educational Savings Account.
Barber says that the Governor commented on creating flexibility with categorical funding and looking at current code requirements.
Barber says House Study Bill One or “Student First Act.” The Bill would establish a student-first scholarship program and a student-first enrollment supplement fund, requiring the boards of directors of the school district to publish certain specified information, modifying provisions related to required social studies instruction, open enrollment, teacher librarian endorsements, complete, competent private instruction, and special education, making appropriations, providing penalties, and including the effective date, applicability, and retroactive applicability provisions.
