From our friends at the Iowa State Education Association (ISEA)

Student First Scholarships are the wrong public policy for Iowa and an inappropriate use of public tax dollars.
Student first scholarships are private school vouchers. Plain and simple. Unlike a true savings account, parents do not open the account and put in their own money. The proposal gives selected parents a taxpayer-funded debit card loaded with state taxpayer dollars to use however they wish. We agree that parents should have the choice to enroll their child in a private or religious school. But not with public taxpayer funds.

TAKE ACTION

Contact your State Representative and Senator and all members of the Iowa House Appropriations Committee to Vote No on Vouchers.
