DES MOINES, IOWA (March 27, 2024) — Governor Kim Reynolds signed HF 2612, a bill to improve special education and raise teacher salaries, into law.

Gov Reynolds released the following statement before signing HF 2612:

“I’m proud to sign legislation that further strengthens Iowa's commitment to students, parents, teachers, and schools. This bill will improve special education for students with disabilities and raise salaries for new and experienced teachers — two foundational pillars of a world-class education system, which is exactly what we strive to provide for every student in our state. High-quality teachers and instruction unlock the potential for student success, and this legislation delivers both.”
