Gov. Kim Reynolds’ has signed her signature education bill into law after it passed through both the Iowa House and Senate.

The bill contains education savings accounts for Iowa students and families to use toward private schooling. With the bill in place, every Iowa student would have the option of using more than $7,500 in state money each year to pay for private school.

"For the first time, we're funding students instead of a system, we're rejecting the idea that the answer to improving education is simply pumping more money into the same system year after year without making significant changes," Reynolds said before signing the bill Tuesday.

"And we are putting an end to the notion that competition is a zero-sum game."
