This bill repeals the education savings account program in Iowa, which previously provided funds to students attending nonpublic schools for various educational expenses. The repeal is reflected in the removal of Section 257.11B from the Code, along with the deletion of references to education savings account payments in several subsections related to teacher salary and professional development supplements. Specifically, the amendments to Sections 256.9 and 257.10 eliminate the consideration of students receiving education savings account payments when calculating district costs for teacher salary and professional development supplements.

In addition to the repeal of the education savings account program, the bill also makes conforming changes to ensure that the calculations for unadjusted district costs for various educational supplements no longer include the number of resident pupils who received such payments. This aligns the funding calculations with the new legal framework following the program's repeal, effectively removing any financial implications associated with the education savings account program from the state's educational funding structure.
