CardPac survey to test Iowa schools spring
Iowa public secondary pupils will complete 37 item CardPac questionnaires this spring follow up to last year’s survey. 227079 students in grades 7 through 12 participated last year and data aided school leaders. The current inventory helps identify weaknesses in programs and could fuel statewide educational improvements over years. Separately Iowa farm leaders met with Deputy Secretary Cyrus Vance in Washington to protest a 50 percent cut in pork purchases by the Defense Department. Senator Jack Muller joined the delegation. The department said it would review the decision as an anti inflation move.
