(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds was at the White House Thursday as President Trump signed an executive order calling for the U.S. Department of Education to be dismantled.
Reynolds called the event “historic” and she posted a message on social media thanking Trump for his leadership and committment to education freedom. Reynolds also wrote an opinion piece for a Washington, D.C. publication called The Hill. She announced Iowa is the first state to submit a plan to have federal education dollars delivered as a block grant.
Reynolds said state officials would be able to tie federal block grant funding to student outcomes.
