Title

A bill for an act relating to education savings grants. (See SF 547.)

Description

PFPS Summary: Iowa SF 372 would make vouchers available to every child in the state eligible to attend kindergarten through 12th grade. ESA funds could be used for private school tuition, textbooks, fees, educational therapies, and one computer or similar device every three years, but not transportation, food, clothing, or disposable materials. The voucher amount would be based on the amount local public schools receive from the state per pupil. There are no limitations in the bill on spending voucher funds on tuition at schools that discriminate on the basis of religion, LGBTQ status, or other characteristics.
