A bill for an act relating to education funding, including the amounts for the statewide preschool program and eligibility for payments under the education savings account program, and including applicability provisions.
Subcommittee: Sinclair, Quirmbach, and Rozenboom.
Summary
The measure revises the formula for Iowa’s statewide preschool funding, tying the enrollment percentage to the number of instructional hours a district provides. It also narrows eligibility for education savings account payments, keeping them open for all nonpublic‑school students in 2025‑26 but restricting future payments (starting 2027) to households earning no more than 400 % of federal poverty guidelines. The changes aim to align funding with instructional intensity and target voucher‑type assistance to lower‑income families.
