Every ESA expense is submitted and approved before payment is released. Parents sign off, schools must be accredited, and the state can audit. That is oversight. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst iowaace.org/accountability…
Private education isn't just for the wealthy anymore. Iowa ESAs remove financial barriers so thousands more families can choose a private school that fits their child. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
‘No public money for private schools' is a slogan, not a principle. Iowa already helps students attend private colleges. ESAs apply that same logic to K-12. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst shanevanderhart.com/p/public-money…
School Spotlight: St. Patrick Catholic School in Waukon offers preschool through 5th grade education centered on faith, family, and learning. Learn more: spcswaukon.org #SchoolChoice
Parents choose the school, not the state. ESA funds reach accredited schools because a family selected them. Parents also provide accountability every day. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst iowaace.org/rob-sand-no-ov…
"I get to choose what's best for my child." Iowa's Students First Act lets state education dollars follow students to the accredited private school their parents choose. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
Who's actually checking the books? Iowa's independently accredited Christian schools face external CPA reviews and audits, with real consequences for failure. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst iowachristianschools.org/whos-actually-…
Every private school parent reported being satisfied in the 2025 PDK Poll, compared with 61% of public school parents. Small classes and shared values matter. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst iowaace.org/why-are-privat…
How do Zach Lahn and Rob Sand differ on ESAs, program oversight, and private school autonomy? Compare their public statements on these key education issues in Iowa’s governor’s race. #SchoolChoice #IAGov
School choice means little if only families with substantial incomes can afford to exercise it. Iowa expanded access beyond the wealthy. Any retreat from that principle would put financial barriers back in front of parents. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
The debate over school choice gets distorted when opponents argue over labels instead of outcomes. Iowa parents are choosing schools they believe serve their children better. That freedom should not depend on whether critics approve of the choice. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst

186 rural districts saw growth in nonpublic enrollment from 2022-23 to 2025-26, and 25 districts went from zero to choosing nonpublic options. Rural Iowa is choosing. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst iowaace.org/rural-iowa-sch…
School choice is not a loophole in Iowa education policy. It is the policy. Families were deliberately given more control over where their children are educated. Efforts to narrow that freedom should be judged for what they are: a rollback. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
The measure of Iowa's school choice policy is not whether every family makes the same decision. It is whether parents are free to make different decisions for different children. Protect that freedom. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
Iowa’s ESA helps working families make nonpublic school tuition manageable. Lauren Mrzljak warns that income limits could push families like hers out of the program. #SchoolChoice wcfcourier.com/opinion/letter…
Rob Sand said ESAs could not be audited. His own audit found no misspent funds and no evidence of families or schools abusing the program. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst iowaace.org/rob-sand-esa-a…
Iowa expanded educational options because one school cannot be the right fit for every child. That fact has not changed. The answer now is not to shrink those options or make them harder for families to use. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
School choice gave Iowa families something valuable: the ability to plan their children's education with more than one option on the table. Families deserve stability, not uncertainty over whether today's choice will disappear tomorrow. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
