Governor Kim Reynolds has officially signed new legislation expanding support and opportunities for charter school students and families across the state. The law increases per-student charter school funding, expands access to extracurriculars and concurrent enrollment opportunities, and allows the University of Northern Iowa to approve new charter schools in Iowa.

This is a huge step forward for educational choice and for the thousands of Iowa families seeking innovative, high-quality public school options for their children.

Public charter schools are tuition-free public schools that give families more choices while remaining accountable for student success. Today’s legislation helps ensure charter school students receive more equitable access to resources and opportunities. 💙

We’re excited about what this means for the future of education in Iowa and for the continued growth of strong public charter school communities across our state. 🚀
