DE is allowed to charge school districts and accredited non-public schools a fee for the system not to exceed the actual costs to purchase a statewide license.  Successful Progression of Early Readers provides direct assistance for K-3 students for progress and monitoring for students who exhibit a substantial deficiency in reading with intensive instruction. The bill matches the Governor's level of a cut of $175,000 to $7.825 million for FY 2018.  Reading Research Center (IRRC) provides best practices and information to school districts to assist early readers. It is now located with the University of Iowa. The bill provides a slight cut of $5,000 compared to Net FY 2017.

Both the bill and the Governor keep the Special Ed Services Birth to three-years old program at status quo, at $1.7 million.  State Libraries under the bill would receive status quo funding compared to Net FY 2017 of $2.53 million, but since this maintains the deappropriations level reduction of $185,000, this will affect the State Library’s ability to draw down federal funds, which are subject to a three-year rolling average Maintenance of Effort. This matches the Governor's level. The Governor recommended a cut to the State Libraries of an additional $54,000 below HF 642’s level. The Enrich Iowa program receives a cut of $13,000 compared to Net FY 2017 which matches the Governor’s level.

Total Regents, Board of 8 Policy and Statute Changes:  The bill funds the Computer Science Fund initiative starting in FY 2019 at $250,000.  The bill notwithstands the appropriation to At-Risk children so it would be not more than $10,730,000.  HF 514, that passed the Education Committee, restructures the College Aid Commission Board. Two lending institution representatives would be removed and adds a parent and a K-12 Practitioner. The Governor would now have nine appointments to the board and not eight, and the total people that are represented by the public are increased from three to four.  English Language Learner Grants is repealed.  Foster Care All Opportunity Scholarship Program – repealed and now an allowable expenditure for Iowa All Opportunity Scholarship program. Language gives preference for funding to Foster Care qualified applicants. As passed Appropriations, language eliminates the ability for a Foster Care student to gain eligibility through a HSED equivalent. Language combining the two programs will be adjusted in an amendment.  Barber and Cosmetology Program – repealed and now an allowable usage of Iowa Tuition Grant (ITG) For-Profit funding.  Ashford carves out for ITG funding – repealed outdated code section.  Specifies Waldorf must provide a 1 to 1 match that must increase each year by the percentage increase in the appropriation for the private for profit tuition grant program. Specifies Le James must provide a 75% match for FY 2018, 85% match for FY 2019 and a dollar for dollar match for FY 2020 and beyond. Limits the grant under the program to resident tuition and mandatory fees for two semesters (currently that would equal $8,551).  Iowa Needs Nurses Now program – repealed.  Early Literacy – Strikes the retention requirement and summer school requirements. Keeps intensive assistance language and testing and then expands it to any student, not just K-3.  Mentoring and Induction for Beginning Teachers – strikes the program and requirements, but allows schools to still offer mentoring for beginning teachers and they can use their professional development funds for this purpose.  Community College Quality Faculty Salaries program – no language repeal because only session law.  Eliminates the homeopathic and therapeutics and an institute of child behavior and development at U of I, per UI Request of outdated language.  Strikes and rewrites purpose of Oakdale campus per UI request. This section has been in place for a long time, but its purpose and significance no longer applies since UIHC has no presence on that campus and the large Oakdale Hall was decommissioned and razed several years ago.  Regents are told to either sell or otherwise dispose of the Iowa braille and sight saving school property.  The Fine Arts Beginning Teacher Mentoring program, starting in FY 2018, would receive a $25,000 allocation from the Student Achievement Teacher Quality program.  Not withstands Work Study Standing appropriations ($0). This is the same amount as FY 2017.  Removes the $6,000 cap on ITG and replaces it with resident tuition and mandatory fees for two semesters (currently that would equal $8,551).  Delays funding of $10 million for High Needs Schools by another year.
