Right?
So back in January, Republican Governor Kim Reynolds made clear she's done with the old public school system status quo.

Well, I want to start back in January.
We're at a school board meeting for the city's public schools.
It's known as the Cedar Rapids Community School District.
Serves about 14,000 kids.
And they're in a financial hole in part because they're losing students and dollars to school choice.
And to really right-size, the district says it needs to close up to six elementary schools.

It's not ADA compliant.
