Iowa Education Blueprint Proposed Legislation PDF Print E-mail
Monday, January 09 2012 00:00

Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds released their final recommendations for restoring Iowa’s standing as a leader in education on January 6th. These recommendations are a follow-up to the original Iowa Education blue print that was released in October. The current recommendations are based on input received after a series of townhouse meetings held across the state. Washington was the first of these stops last October.

 

The updated recommendations do not include two very controversial proposals in the original blueprint. The four-tiered teacher salary schedule is no longer there but suggestion that 3rd grade students below reading level would automatically be retained still is there. I intend to take the key proposals being suggested to legislators and break them down in terms of my feelings and impact on the Washington Community School District. Overall, I am very supportive of most of the recommendations.

The Washington Community School District received a $100,000 donation from Carl and Helen Dallmeyer. The money was pledged to the district last fall and is specified to be used to help pay for an electrical system upgrade for the current high school building. A check was delivered to the district on December 22nd.

 

The district has committed $807,000 to renovating the 1918 structure in preparation for conversion to a middle school. These funds have come through grant dollars, donation and physical and equipment levy (PPEL) funds. Improvements include the replacement of the boilers, repair/replacement of the classroom controls, replacement of the hot water system, installation of false ceilings, replacement/repair of two roofs, replacement of up to 160 door locks and doors, renovation of a restroom to become a handicapped accessible Special Education restroom,, electrical upgrades for the facility and lighting replacement.

 

“We are very appreciative of this donation,” said Superintendent of Schools, Mike Jorgensen. “There are still about $500,000 of more improvements we would like to see but have tapped out our facility funds.” “We really appreciate the support of the Dallmeyers to improve the environment of this building for our students. “ Further improvements include media enabled classrooms throughout the building, replacement of tile flooring and painting of the classrooms.
