Governor Kim Reynolds signs the prohibition on school cell phone in law
Look at IOWA students join Governor Kim Reynolds as it signs a bill prohibiting the use of the mobile phone in schools.
- The law obliges Iowa public schools to authorize private students to compete in their sports teams.
- Pupils of private schools can participate in all sports programs in public schools according to several directives, especially if the student lives in the district or in a contiguous school district.
Iowa public schools will have to allow students of private schools to compete in their sports teams as part of a bill that Governor Kim Reynolds signed the law.
House file 189 grants private school students compulsory access to participate in public school sports programs if the student lives in the district or in a contiguous school district and if the private school has not offered this sport for the previous two years.
The law obliges tutors to cover all costs for the sports programs of their students, and public schools cannot invoice the students of private schools larger than those paid by pupils of public schools.
Some Iowa Democrats decreed the law during the debate on the session with concerns that private students have more access to dollars of public school taxpayers, quoting the Education savings law that Reynolds signed in 2023.
The law rendered each student of the Iowa eligible $ 7,988 in state financing To pay private school fees, including tuition fees and costs.
“When you start to take this path that” I want my money so that I can send my student to a private school, but I then want to turn around so that I can have access to everything else, “it does not work this way,” said senator Mike Zimmer, D-Dewitt, in the Senate.
But the Republicans of the Chamber of Republicans of Iowa declared in March that certain districts had ended their student-public-public-private agreements since the Education savings accounts has become available.
“You are already sending a bus, you already have your coaches, and I think that sometimes we lose sight of the fact that we look at everything through dollars and hundred and not the experience that these young athletes and the skills they will acquire for future productivity in their life and the skills in problem solving and also the relational skills that they will be part of a team,” said Senator Tim Kraayenbrink.
