DES MOINES, IA (AP) — Private school funding in Iowa has reached a stalemate.
Iowa lawmakers ended their legislative session, about five weeks behind schedule because of a dispute over education spending.
The Senate and House adjourned early Wednesday without reaching agreement on Gov. Kim Reynolds’ proposal to divert $55 million from public schools toward taxpayer-funded scholarships for up to 10,000 students to attend private schools.
Law makers did pass large tax cuts, a plan to let grocers opt-out of bottle recycling and cut unemployment benefits.
