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 and private schools in Iowa would have to wait a little longer to start their school year. Instead of being allowed to start as early as August 23, classes could not begin before August 25. If August 25 falls on a weekday that isn't a Monday, the school year must start on the Monday right before that date.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 the school calendar shall, instead, begin no sooner than August 25, but if August is a weekday other than Monday, no sooner than the Monday immediately preceding August 25.
