Gov. Reynolds Statement on the Students First Act Passing the Iowa House and Senate 

 

DES MOINES – Today Gov. Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Iowa House and Senate passing the Students First Act:

 

“I am thrilled that both the Iowa House and the Iowa Senate have passed the Students First Act and I look forward to signing it into law later today. For the first time, we will fund students instead of a system, a decisive step in ensuring that every child in Iowa can receive the best education possible. Parents, not the government, can now choose the education setting best suited to their child regardless of their income or zip code. With this bill, Iowa has affirmed that educational freedom belongs to all, not just those who can afford it.”
