McLeod Academy bill withdrawn by Iowa lawmakers
Des Moines Iowa House Education Chairman Steve Grubbs said he has given up on a bill allowing McLeod Academy Marion to charge tuition to public school students under a 28 percent sharing plan. Opponents led by the ISEA PTA and administrators argued the measure would repeal free education and enable private for profit schools. McLeod vowed to press on, praising the partnership with a school district and noting support from Rep. Rick Dickinson though amendments were offered.
