Plan Empowers Parents, Schools to Improve Student Achievement

Senators this week unveiled an achievement-driven education initiative to improve performance among Iowaís schoolchildren. The parent-friendly plan offers tax incentives to help Iowa families afford the cost of preschool and tutoring. It also calls for first-year teacher testing in Iowa schools, phonics-based reading help for kids who fall behind, pay-for- performance measures for teachers and incentives to end teacher shortage areas.

Increasing Opportunities for Students Parents today are faced with tough choices when it comes to their family budgets. We want to help make educational opportunities more affordable for families by expanding a current state tax credit for school tuition and textbooks from $250 per child to $2,500 per family. In addition, we want to make preschool and tutoring eligible for the tax credit so that more parents have the financial flexibility to take advantage of these important educational programs.
