Similar Stories to Reynolds ‘educating’ Lawmakers On Her Plan For School Choice, Funding on Bing News

DES MOINES — Gov. Kim Reynolds says she has some “educating” to do to get House Republicans on board her sweeping schools plan that calls for taxpayer-funded scholarships for private school students and expands charter school offerings.“We’re going to continue to educate and update and reach out to legislators to help answer any questions that they may have,” the Osceola Republican said Thursday about her proposed Students First Act.The GOP-controlled Senate approved it 26-21 earlier this week with three Republicans joining Democrats, who argued taxpayer funding should be focused on the public education system, not on underwriting private school students.The House may address school funding next week, House Speaker Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford, said, but gave no indication the 59-41 Republican majority is ready to act on Reynolds’ proposal.“It’s a big bill,” he said.
