Iowa SF204 modifies education provisions, including private instruction, world language instruction, dual enrollment, and the tuition and textbook.

Iowa SF204 modifies education provisions by treating diplomas or credentials from competent private instruction the same as those from school districts or accredited nonpublic schools. It allows parents to place children under competent private instruction and permits dual enrollment in public schools. The bill prohibits gender-neutral language in world language instruction if the language uses a grammatical gender system. It increases the tuition and textbook tax credit to 50% of the first $2,000 for each dependent in grades K-12. The provisions apply retroactively to January 1, 2025.
