Gov. Reynolds Says School Districts That Ignore State’s ‘Return to Learn’ Plan Are ‘Defying the Law’
JOHNSTON, Iowa — Gov. Kim Reynolds made it clear Tuesday that schools that don’t follow the requirements for 50% in-person instruction when classes begin are violating state law.
A handful of Iowa school districts, among them Des Moines, Urbandale, and Waukee, have already revealed they may ignore the plans outlined by the state and begin school all online.
The governor said Thursday that schools that don’t follow the state’s plans, “are not defying me, they are defying the law.”
She also said that the instructional time will not count for those districts if they don’t meet the 50% in-person learning threshold.
She plans to meet with leaders in the Des Moines and Urbandale districts Tuesday afternoon to discuss the plans and hopefully reach a compromise.
