positive consequences for public education and workforce development in our state.
We understand that some teachers are nervous about this program. It does
represent a fundamental change. We are convinced that we can make this new plan
work in a way that serves teachers, students, and parents.
We are hopeful the special legislative session scheduled for June 19 will consider
legislative action to that which was left incomplete at the end of the regular session. In
addition to redistricting, I urge lawmakers to maintain the operations of Iowa's rural
workforce development centers, to provide the option for community colleges to raise
additional revenue to meet their obligations, and to provide for additional in-state
electric power generation.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
