Iowa House backs bill to strengthen local control of standards
The Iowa House approved Senate File 2251 with broad support to increase transparency on Common Core standards, keep curriculum and textbooks under local control, and expand student data protections. The measure, now awaiting the governor, would require state education changes to be reviewed by the legislature and enhance local input while tying in child care eligibility reforms linked to education. Rep. Gassman, listing Emmet Winnebago and parts of Kossuth counties, promotes greater autonomy and local decision making in education.

The View from Here by Senator Dennis Guth
Senator Guth critiques an anti bullying bill saying its narrow list of protected categories will miss some students needing protection. He notes Democrats want 1 million for a new Education Department office and teacher training, while Republicans favor cheaper online training and oppose broad spending. He regrets the bill delays parental reporting until a board confirms bullying.
