Bill > HF2052

This bill amends Iowa Code section 256C.3, which relates to the statewide voluntary preschool program for four-year-old children, by adding a new paragraph that allows school districts to enter into agreements with community-based providers to offer preschool instruction. A "chapter 28E agreement" is a type of contract that allows government entities, like school districts, to cooperate with other public agencies or private entities to provide services, in this case, allowing a community-based provider to deliver preschool education. The bill mandates that school districts must enter into such an agreement if a community-based provider requests it, and importantly, these agreements cannot restrict the number of eligible children who can receive instruction from these community providers as part of the local preschool program.
