House bill allows elementary only districts in Iowa
Iowa House approved a measure allowing districts to drop grades seven through twelve and send students to neighboring districts. The plan, sent to the Senate 76 to 18, would require eliminating a full grade and any higher grades, with tuition capped at actual costs. Supporters say it saves money and preserves identities, while opponents fear returning to elementary only districts.
