Audit dispute over Iowa violence reporting rules
Federal audit claiming Iowa schools failed to report violent incidents is challenged as misreading education law. Officials say some offenses at Kennedy High School Cedar Rapids were not reportable and did not trigger expulsions or suspensions beyond ten days. The audit assessed compliance with laws enabling parent transfers from persistently dangerous schools, finding none in Iowa for 02-03 and 03-04.
