DES MOINES - The ink was not yet dry Friday on Gov. Kim Reynolds first K-12 education law when she began lobbying for her next school proposal - one that may be short on support.
DES MOINES The ink was not yet dry on Gov. Kim Reynoldsâ first K-12 education priority Friday when she began lobbying for her next proposal, one that may be short on support.
Reynolds on Friday signed into law a requirement that K-12 schools offer to all students the option of 100% in-person learning, even if districts are not operating completely in-person during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During a bill-signing ceremony at the Iowa Capitol, Reynolds spoke about that bill but also pivoted to making a push for her other major K-12 education priority this year: a sweeping proposal that creates taxpayer-funded private tuition assistance for students in struggling schools, expands the stateâs public charter school program, and eliminates diversity programs that do not allow students to open enroll out of the district to another public school.
