K. Discussion regarding Lease Agreement and the Shared Use Agreement re Aquatic Center.
The board discussed that the pending the outcome of the Aquatic Center Project on July 20th, the board may wish to re-evaluate the agreements.
L. Legislative Priorities.
The Board discussed the different legislative priorities and selected the following:
1. Supports preserving the integrity of the statewide penny sales tax for school infrastructure, including the tax equity provisions of buying down the highest additional levy rates to the state average, and supports the extension of the statewide penny by the repeal of the Dec. 31, 2029 sunset.
3. Supports continued progress in the development of rigorous content standards and benchmarks consistent with the Iowa Core focused on improving student achievement, including the following state actions:
- Provide and fund technical assistance to help school districts fully implement the Iowa Core.
- Adopt high-quality summative and formative assessments, aligned to the skills students should know and be able to do to succeed globally and locally.
- Include and fund all the components of successful standards systems: assessments aligned to the high expectations, improved and aligned instruction and quality professional development.
- Research based professional development that provides educators with training, support and time to work together so that they can successfully teach a rigorous curriculum to all students.
8. Supports the inclusion of drop-out prevention and funding for at-risk students in the foundation formula and the inclusion of socio-economic status as a factor in determining a student's at-risk status. Supports increased flexibility in the use of drop-out prevention and at-risk funding. Supports allowing districts to apply the rules for “supplemental weighted dollars” to all drop- out prevention program dollars.
11. Supports reform of Iowa’s K-12 education system that:
- is research-based;
- is focused on student achievement;
- includes assessments to measure the full range and rigor of the Iowa Core;
- maintains oversight and control by locally elected boards of directors;
- does not "repurpose" existing education funds; and
- does not impose new mandates unless they are fully funded.
15. Supports increased statewide access to and funding for mental health services for children. Students are struggling in school and there are not adequate resources, financial and human, for necessary services. It is often unclear whose role it is to provide the services and to provide funds for programming. Neither the education nor children’s mental health delivery systems have the resources to meet current needs. The legislature also needs to clarify roles and secure full funding.
Dave Blum made a motion to approve the selected priorities. Ann Staiert seconded the motion. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.
Adjournment
As there was no further business to come before the Board at this time, a motion was made by Dave Blum and seconded by Ann Staiert to adjourn the regular meeting at 9:05 p.m. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.
