Taylor's church school given one year reprieve
In Mount Pleasant Rev. Tot Taylor operates the Bluebird Christian Academy in the Assembly of God Church basement with four students and no state-certified teachers. He has been arrested previously for the lack of certified staff, but a one-year suspension of the law approved by the Iowa Legislature last spring allows him to stay out of jail this year.

Moratorium Creates Enrollment Duties for Home Schoolers
The Iowa case covers home schooling under a moratorium requiring enrollments and lesson plans to be filed with districts. Prosecutor Mike Riepe says the pause delays charges rather than cures the crime, while the Taylors contest the plan and argue the lesson rule is unclear. The couple has prior convictions and 30 days in jail from 1987.
