Iowa House approves education reform package
The Iowa House passes a contentious education reform package after two days of debate. Supporters praise placing focus on school needs while critics decry the bill as inadequate and argue for merit pay for teachers and broader reforms. Governor Branstad is expected to sign if the Senate agrees. A yearlong study of teacher preparation is also sought by Rep. Brent Siegrist.
