@RandyOnEd I thought private schools had to report their school performance data now as well as part of the Governor’s ESA legislation but don’t see any private school data on the School Performance Profiles. Was I wrong in thinking that they had to report?

IA DOE released the School Performance Profiles for the 23-24 school yr. They revealed 377 schools have been identified as needing additional support due to achievement gaps with groups of students including ELL and students with disabilities. #FundOurFuture

@efrerichs @schipper33 It was so good to see you guys tonight! I love how we can just pick up where we left off like we see each other all the time. I have some great memories of teaching and coaching with you two. Wishing you both all the best!

The shirt colors don't match anymore, and maybe a few more wrinkles (on the guys only) but these two remain some of the best men I call my friend. @schipper33 @daviddewild

@SpiritLakeTrack Congratulations to both the athletes and coaches! Such an exciting track meet to follow!

Here they are 2a champs!

@RandyOnEd Lots of great information and stats on teacher pay in a neighboring state in this article. Thanks for sharing.

SD is trying again to boost teacher pay. Avg salary in SD ranks 49th nationwide southdakotasearchlight.com/2023/12/30/sou…

@schipper33 Weird indeed. Never saw that coming said nobody.

I was there that day. He did say they wouldn't raise tuition. That is weird.

@MrBradPeter Looks like they are doing great!

I maybe fished 5 times in my entire life before our kids started fishing during our Covid time away from school. They are completely self taught, I only get in the way! #OutdoorClassroom

@94butler Looks fantastic Terry!

Just finished my custom table made with white oak from a corncrib (Royal, IA) powder coated hardware made by my brother - scored the table top at Cherished Again - budget $30 dollars! All repurposed materials

@takamarra I hope so! That would be awesome!

Could the Cubs be buyers??? I’ve waited at few years to hear this!!

@kowensSLHS She’s adorable!

Congratulations Bennett on your fantastic day at the Lakes Conference Track Meet. Bennett earned gold in the 4x200 m relay, silver in the discus and Shuttle Hurdle Relay and bronze in the 100 m Hurdles. Great season Bennett!
