Upcoming Webinars on ESAs

December 28, 2016 By Eric

One of our top priorities during the upcoming legislative session is to encourage passage of a flexible Education Savings Account (ESA) program in Iowa. In preparation for the session, our partners at Iowa Alliance for Choice in Education are offering 30-minute “Legislative Kickoff” webinars at two convenient times – Tuesday, Jan. 10 at noon and Thursday, Jan. 12 at 6:30 p.m.

The webinars will:

  • present a refresher on the legislative process,
  • discuss plans for the upcoming legislative session, and
  • describe specific ways you can actively promote the ESA effort in your local communities.

The live webinars will only be available through viewing parties at Christian or other private schools throughout Iowa, although recordings will be available to individuals later. Check with your local school to see if they’re hosting the webinar.

It’s Time For A Social Media Blitz

October 11, 2016 By Eric

It’s time for a social media blitz on school choice in Iowa.  The Iowa Association of Christian Schools partnered with Iowa ACE, the Iowa Catholic Conference, and Americans For Prosperity – Iowa to produce a video that outlines the importance of allowing parents to make choices for their children.  It also highlights the value of Education Savings Accounts and our current tax credit program.

Below is a clip we have posted on social media yesterday and today.  There are more to come.  Will you join us in visiting our pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ to share and like our posts?  Let’s get the word out about parental rights in education and force candidates this election cycle to make choice in education a major topic of discussion.  The video points to UnitedForStudents.com and you are able to sign up for the AFP and Iowa ACE lists on that website.  We also encourage you to sign up here on this website for occasional newsletters and legislative action alerts specific to Christian schools and education in the state!
