The Iowa Senate passed a school choice package earlier this year during the legislative session. The Iowa House approved parts of it, but failed to pass any sort of Education Savings Account bill.
Here is the text of the pledge:
“I pledge to support policies that promote parental rights in education and educational freedom. This includes the right of parents to voice their opinions at school board meetings and to take their children’s taxpayer-funded education dollars to the education providers of their choosing – whether it be a public, private, charter, or home school.”
