(Greenfield) Iowa House District #23 Representative Ray Sorensen proposes House Study Bill 556, the National Guard Service Continuing Education Scholarship program.
Representative Sorensen says servicemen and women could use this scholarship at nontraditional continuing education plans that are becoming increasingly popular, like community colleges.
Sorensen says this past week, a subcommittee on the governor’s AEA proposal. The Subcommittee decided not to advance the bill to the full committee, citing the need for more conversations.
Representative Sorensen says it has become clear that after taking feedback from Iowans, there is no support in the House to move this bill forward in its current form. It is still alive in the Senate, but we have heard it is on life-support; we will continue to work with stakeholders and get feedback from Iowans to ensure that anything we pass in the House will help improve special education in our state.
