What’s in it

AI summary Iowa is changing how it calculates money for preschool programs for four-year-olds. Instead of using a percentage of students to decide funding, school districts will now receive money based on 100 percent of their actual eligible preschool enrollment. This update also changes how much funding a school district gets during its very first year in the program.1
