The Iowa Legislature’s controversial “school choice” bill still under consideration in the Iowa House has at least one local superintendent opposing it. Superintendent of Pella Community School District Greg Ebeling tells KRLS News the education savings account bill is problematic.

“I’m concerned about the education savings account bill which is really a voucher bill; I don’t think that’s a good thing for public education. I think it pulls money away from public ed and that’s a concern for me, especially money that, even if it gives parents choice, I’m worried about the accountability around those dollars and that it wouldn’t be very accountable, and so we are still concerned about that bill.”

Ebeling asks those who agree with him to contact their legislator, and ask them to support public schools.
