(Des Moines, IA) Iowans are telling state lawmakers what they think about Governor Kim Reynolds’ school choice bill. The proposal would put nearly 76 hundred dollars in educational savings accounts for parents who enroll their kids outside of public schools. During a public hearing by Iowa House leaders yesterday, residents touched on a lack of public school funding, whether parents should access taxpayer dollars for education if private schools should get taxpayer dollars, and more.
