Died when the session ended The 2024 session adjourned on April 19, 2024, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary Schools in Iowa would be allowed to start their calendars a little earlier in August. Instead of always waiting until August 23, schools could start on the Monday right before that date if August 23 falls on any other weekday. This change affects both public school districts and accredited private schools.1

Read the official explanation

This bill modifies the earliest possible start date of the school calendar for school districts and accredited nonpublic schools. Current law provides that the school calendar for school districts and accredited nonpublic schools shall begin no sooner than August 23. The bill modifies this provision to provide that, if August is a weekday other than Monday, the school calendar shall begin no sooner than the Monday immediately preceding August 23.
