Iowa School Choice Summit A Success!

September 29, 2015 By Eric

On September 16, school choice supporters from all over the State gathered in Des Moines to discuss the future of school choice initiatives.  Here are a couple of stories that provide good summaries of what happened:

Thank you to the Iowa Alliance for Choice in Education, Iowa Advocates for Choice in Education, the Iowa Catholic Conference, and others for putting this together.  We were proud to be a part of the event!

Senate Passes Its Version Of School Start Date Legislation

March 10, 2015 By Eric

One step closer! The Senate Passed its version of school start date legislation.  SF 227 (School Start Date Bill) passed 32-17 restoring local control on school start date by repealing the start date provisions in the Code. We support this bill and we are hopeful the House will take up the bill, although that is not looking promising at this point. We still have a ways to go on this issue.

The Iowa Association of Christian Schools is less concerned about the particular day school starts (although there are many compelling reasons to start in August) and more concerned with who makes the decision.  There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
