HF 251 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act requiring the state board of education to publish information related to nonpublic schools that are accredited by an approved independent accrediting agency.

HF 251 requires Iowa's state board of education to publish detailed information about nonpublic schools accredited by independent agencies. The board must list each school, the specific educational standards the accrediting agency required for accreditation, and any amendments or waivers to those standards. This information will be posted on the education department's website and updated annually by June 30. The bill expands transparency by making school-level accreditation details publicly available, moving beyond the current requirement that only listed accrediting agencies.
