The DE is still in the process of collecting public feedback on a proposal to update Iowa's science standards. Time is running out; if you haven't already done so, please tell your parents and community members that their input is needed on this issue. Public feedback is sought in the following ways:
Take the survey (Deadline: Feb. 27)
Attend a public forum
Find a flyer about the upcoming Iowa Employment Conference: Employment, Training, Benefits & Wellness Conference. Schools that do not have human resources departments, leading to the HR duties falling on the administrative team, may find the conference insightful in staying up to date on the ever changing HR rules and regulations.
