No. The government shouldn’t be funding churches and their schools that are not open to ALL kids.

His ignorance is no surprise to me!SMFH. Your ignorance on this subject is astounding.
No he’s not. You’re lying and have been in every thread on this topic. You keep getting proven wrong repeatedly but here you are pushing the same lies. Over and over. Private schools are not going to take any kid. They still push away kids who live in poverty by raising tuition. Stop lying about it.
Lol…most. That’s not what education for all Americans is about. You back picking and choosing.
You’ve gone from most to some. Slowly you’re getting there.
Just wait for that income limitation thingy to expire!!!
Iowa will be bankrupt in 5 years.
They couldn't afford it as they were already paying into the failing Iowa public schools, now they have real choice.
My kids, their brains, real choice have come to Iowa.
Home schooling has little cost. They don't get to choose the private school, the school chooses who attends.
You're a moron.
Front page story in Sunday's DMR warned of coming recession in Iowa's ag economy.
As ag goes, so goes Iowa's economy.
As ag revenues drop by 40 % the state revenues drop significantly.
With Kim's tax cuts watch Iowa's surplus melt away quickly.
Course this is a feature, not a bug...shrink govt to bathtub size, then drown it, ya know?
Subsidies for the ag producers, but yes, this State has some rough days ahead.
And with companies like John Deere experiencing reduced sales, all those JD suppliers feel the pain as well.
Many residents love to hear their taxes are being lowered, but don't understand the long term consequences.
Indeed. Turn down 1 special needs kid at your private school, and you refund 20% of all voucher money back to the Public schools
Choice.
Loon. Grifter. Liar. Any of them fit him.
The private school is not staffed or equipped to handle/attempt to educate the special needs students, no family would want their child placed in a situation like that.
You anti-voucher loons don't care about what's best for the students you just want to perpetuate the failing Iowa Public School System on every single family/child in the state.
Your hate for the program itself overrides any common sense.

Apparently they are not equipped to handle the average student who is not an athlete either.
Let's make the private school approval process random, like they do with some charter schools. That's fair - but the supporters of this sham have no interest in being fair, they want the $$.
She won't be the governor, so she doesn't give AF. She'll be getting paid to be a lobbyist for some think tank that promotes school choice.
And, be honest, after a decade plus of total control by Republicans in Iowa, any budget woes will clearly be the fault of the Dems.
School's choice is what private school vouchers represent.
No ret@@ds, no homo kids, no Jews or Muslims, and only blacks good at sports is the motto of private schools. Everyone else gets to choose to go somewhere else.
Iowa residents have never had it so well as they do under the current Reynolds Administration. As smooth as things are going the Dems might has well pull up the tent stakes and move on.
LOL
Where do you get your info? The wokers guide to talking points?
It’s always been a limited choice. I’ve never said it wasn’t. I don’t think anyone has. Everyone who is honest about this never contested that demand would likely be greater than current private school infrastructure can currently handle. But, this law is an improvement. More kids and families have access to more options now. Families that couldn’t afford it before. That is a positive thing for education. More access and choice should be a priority.
So?
If they will not staff up for it, they need to refund 20% of voucher receipts for those kids who are remanded to public schools.
Public schools "are not equipped or staffed" to educate them, either, until they have to pay $$ out of the "regular kids" funding to do it.
That’s a pretty offensive thing to say, and completely wrong.
Private schools are a lot more diverse than you think.
That’s bullshit. All kids are welcome in private schools as long as they’re not Marxist.
OMG how dumb are you, public schools in Iowa have teachers who specialize in handling those type of kids. In addition, the public schools employee associates to push those kids to classrooms and wipe the slobber from them.
Private schools do not have the staffing to handle them and shouldn't either.
Because they’ve been getting government money to do that. And time to develop those resources.
Expecting that infrastructure to be up and running at private schools in two years is ridiculous and unrealistic.
NO, THEY ARE NOT. They get the SAME $$ per student that is being given away on vouchers.
This has been pointed out to you and explained to you now at least a dozen times.
Are YOU "special needs" that you cannot understand it, yet?
Just checked the soccer roster at Regina...add Hispanics and several kids from Africa to the voucher admissions.
No; I want them to fund a special needs program AND allow special needs kids to attend on a random/lottery basis if someone submits a voucher.
OR, refund 20% of their voucher $$ to the public schools to cover the education costs of the special needs kids.
This seems amazingly complicated for you, but most other posters understand it right away.
Private schools will never be able to accommodate the transfer of every public school student, nor should they be looked upon to do so,.. Their presence however, provides a valuable option for parents and students looking for an alternative,... If you believe in the concept of society sharing in the cost of educating our children, then making a student's educational dollars transportable becomes an entirely reasonable option,.. Public schools will likely experience some consolidation as a result of this, but their services must continue to be supported and maintained where need exists...
That's not true and you know it.
So make it a lottery for admission, right? To be fair to everyone.
No - you don't give a shit about anything but getting the $$.
