Brief on Branstad-Reynolds administration Recommendations for World-Class School, January 6, 2012

In advance of the 2012 legislative session, I am pleased to provide for your review this legislative brief on Gov. Terry E. Branstad’s and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds’ education reform package. The purpose is to provide a broad overview of the components of the package, give some examples of where similar approaches are in place, and provide cost estimates. In collaboration with the Governor’s Office, the staff at the Iowa Department of Education and I have worked intensively to prepare a set of legislative proposals worthy of careful consideration. I believe this package puts us on the path to our unshakable vision of having one of the best school systems in the world. Iowa’s children deserve nothing less.

2016 Annual Report, Iowa Collaboration for Youth Development, February 1, 2016

The 2016 Annual Report includes our primary issue and goal, data that demonstrate the state’s current position, activities and accomplishments in the area of youth development completed by the ICYD Council in 2015; emerging activities being implemented in 2016; and recommended actions that will help Iowa achieve the ICYD goal – Increasing Iowa’s Graduation Rate to 95% by 2020. With the understanding that several issues (e.g. substance abuse, family, employment, teen pregnancy, and mental health) prevent many youth from graduating from high school, the ICYD Council agencies address these issues as individual agencies and work together as a team by making the best use of existing resources to maximize efficiency in state government in order to create substantial and lasting positive changes for Iowa’s youth.

Coordination of Transit and School Busing in Iowa, Final Report, December 2003

The 2003 Iowa General Assembly asked the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) to conduct a study of Iowa public policy regarding coordination of public transit services and school transportation. This report describes the efficiencies that may be obtained by coordinating transit management and maintenance systems in the areas of school transportation, public transit, and other forms of public transportation. The Center for Transportation Research and Education (CTRE) at Iowa State University studied these issues and prepared this report for the Iowa DOT.
