DES MOINES, Iowa (Gray Television Iowa Capitol Bureau) – After January’s shooting, the Perry Community School District reached out to other schools that dealt with similar tragedies. They found many staff members often decide to leave. A bill passed by the Iowa House would allow the Perry Community School District to give teachers a bonus to come back next year. The bill also waives certain state requirements for the district like some standardized testing, graduation, and hours of instruction.

The bill passed the House in a 94 to 1 vote. Over in the Senate, it passed out of the Ways and Means Committee Wednesday afternoon. It can now be brought up on the Senate floor for a vote.
