Iowa legislators approved school choice legislation earlier this week and Governor Kim Reynolds quickly signed the bill.

It would initially give low income parents seventy six hundred dollars for each child to cover costs of going to a private school.

District 3 Representative Tom Jeneary of Le Mars said he got a lot of public push…..

Jeneary says it’s the will of the people in his district…

Jeneary says there were some amendments added to protect public schools…..

The bill will cost almost a billion dollars over the next few years as all parents are added to the program.
