Review of Education Standards
The*Iowa Department of Education has begun a se-
ries of meetings designed to review Iowa's K-12 educa-
tion standards. This review results from the Governor's
Executive Order 83, issued about a year ago, having to
do with local control over Iowa's education standards
and assessments. The first panel is considering science
standards. It had its first meeting November 4. The panel
is made up of 19 education and business leaders with
backgrounds in science, engineering and technology.
The panel will make preliminary recommendations that
will then be open for public comment. Final recommen-
dations will then be sent to the Education Department
and the Board of Education. According to the Depart-
ment of Education's website, the next meeting is sched-
uled for December 4 at the Iowa Science Center, 401
Martin Luther King Parkwa in Des Moines, from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m.
There will also be other panels that will make rec-
ommendations in social studies, mathematics, English
language arts and 21st century skills. They will follow a
similar format.
Negotiations Begin on State Employee Pay
November 10, the state's largest public employee
union, AFSCME, submitted its proposal for a new con-
tract covering the two years from July 1, 2015 to June
30, 2017. The centerpiece of the proposal is an 8% across
the board pay increase for state employees, over the two
years, in four six month increments of 2% each. The
Department of Administrative Services says the pro-
posal would add half a billion dollars to the state bud-
get over the two year period. The union and the Gover-
nor will be negotiating now to try to come up with a
plan they can both agree to.
As always, feel free to contact me with your ideas or
concerns at Julian.Garrett@legis.iowa.gov or
