H.F. 658 The bill strikes from statute the July 1, 2020, sunset of a 1 provision that authorizes a nonpublic school to be accredited 2 by an approved independent accrediting agency instead of by the 3 state board of education. The provision requires the state 4 board to maintain and publish on the department of education’s 5 internet site a list of at least six approved regional or 6 national independent accrediting agencies that are recognized 7 as reliable authorities concerning the quality of education 8 offered by a school. 9 The bill codifies in Code chapter 256I session law from 10 education appropriations legislation enacted in recent years 11 relating to the duties of the early childhood Iowa state board 12 and area boards. 13 Statutory provisions under the student achievement and 14 teacher quality program allocations for national board 15 certification, beginning teacher mentoring and induction, 16 professional development program, teacher quality committees, 17 evaluator training, teacher development academies, and teacher 18 leadership supplemental aid payments, and a teacher leadership 19 delivery system are modified and the program allocation for 20 high-needs schools, set to begin July 1, 2015, is pushed back 21 to July 1, 2016. 22 This bill provides that a school district is ineligible 23 to receive moneys allocated under the student achievement 24 and teacher quality program for purposes of implementing a 25 beginning teacher mentoring and induction program plan if that 26 school district receives teacher leadership supplemental aid 27 payments for implementing the career paths, leadership roles, 28 and compensation framework or a comparable system approved by 29 the department of education. 30 The bill appropriates moneys to the state board of regents 31 for the board office, universities’ general operating budgets; 32 the southwest Iowa regents resource center; the northwest Iowa 33 regents resource center; the quad-cities graduate studies 34 center; Iowa public radio; the state university of Iowa; Iowa 35 -62- LSB 1020HV (2) 86 kh/tm 62/ 67
H.F. 658 state university of science and technology; the university of 1 northern Iowa; and for the Iowa school for the deaf and the 2 Iowa braille and sight saving school, including tuition and 3 transportation costs for students residing in the schools and 4 licensed classroom teachers. 5 The bill allows the state board of regents to use 6 indebtedness to finance certain projects resulting in energy 7 savings. 8 The bill also requires the department of administrative 9 services to pay the state school for the deaf and the Iowa 10 braille and sight saving school moneys collected from counties 11 for expenses related to prescription drug costs for students 12 attending the schools. 13 The bill amends statute to direct the state board of regents 14 to prohibit the institutions under its control from entering 15 into or complying with a contract to make payments under Code 16 section 364.19 or any other similar agreement with a political 17 subdivision that has the authority to levy or certify for 18 levy a tax, unless otherwise specifically authorized by law. 19 Such a contract or agreement is void and unenforceable. The 20 prohibition precludes the state board from entering into such 21 a contract or agreement on behalf of its institutions. The 22 bill removes the statutory authority of a city council or 23 county boards of supervisors to enter into a contract with an 24 institution under the control of the state board of regents for 25 police protection, fire protection, street maintenance, and 26 waste collection. 27 DIVISION II —— WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAMS —— APPROPRIATIONS 28 FY 2015-2016.

The bill appropriates moneys from the Iowa 4 skilled worker and job creation fund to the department of 5 education and the college student aid commission at generally 6 50 percent of the amounts appropriated for the same purposes 7 for the prior fiscal year. 8 DIVISION V —— STATEWIDE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM COSTS. The bill 9 authorizes children participating in the preschool program to 10 be transported by the school district to activities associated 11 with the program along with other children. The bill specifies 12 that for community-based providers the costs of transportation 13 involving children participating in the preschool program and 14 other children may be prorated. 15 Under current law, a community provider under the 16 program is authorized to use not more than 5 percent of the 17 preschool foundation aid passed through to the provider for 18 administrative costs. The bill increases that amount to 10 19 percent. 20 The bill also provides that the costs of outreach activities 21 and rent for facilities not owned by the school district are 22 considered permissive use of administrative funds. 23 The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies 24 retroactively to July 1, 2014. 25 DIVISION VI —— AT-RISK, ALTERNATIVE, AND DROPOUT PREVENTION 26 PROGRAMS AND FUNDING. This bill makes changes relating to 27 at-risk programs, alternative programs and alternative schools, 28 and returning dropout and dropout prevention programs and 29 funding for the schools and programs. 30 The bill modifies a provision that establishes supplementary 31 weighting for programs serving at-risk pupils and alternative 32 school pupils in secondary schools to add alternative programs 33 for secondary school pupils and programs for returning dropouts 34 and dropout prevention. 35 -64- LSB 1020HV (2) 86 kh/tm 64/ 67

H.F. 658 may request must be for costs in excess of the supplementary 1 weighting amounts received by the school district for at-risk 2 students, alternative program and school students, and 3 potential or returning dropouts. 4 The bill makes conforming changes relating to the submission 5 of comprehensive program plans to the department of education 6 by school districts requesting to use a modified supplemental 7 amount for costs in excess of the supplementary weighting 8 received for at-risk, alternative school, and returning 9 dropouts and dropout prevention; and relating to budgets for 10 programs funded with modified supplemental amounts and to 11 allowable uses of program funding. 12 The bill strikes a provision requiring the department to 13 submit an annual report to the general assembly describing the 14 ways school districts used modified supplemental amounts for 15 returning dropout and dropout prevention programs in the prior 16 school year. 17 DIVISION VII —— GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM —— STAFF. The 18 bill codifies a requirement that the department of education 19 employ one full-time qualified staff member or consultant for 20 gifted and talented children programs. The department is 21 currently required to employ a consultant for talented and 22 gifted children programs. The bill provides that funding 23 for the full-time position will be deducted from the school 24 foundation aid appropriated to school districts. The bill 25 specifies the method for reducing the state foundation aid 26 payments to school districts. 27 DIVISION VIII —— IOWA TUITION GRANT —— AMOUNT. The bill 28 removes the $5,000 cap on the amount of an Iowa tuition grant 29 that may be awarded by the college student aid commission to a 30 qualified student enrolled full time at an accredited private 31 institution. “Qualified student” is defined in current law as 32 a resident student who has established financial need and who 33 is making satisfactory progress toward graduation. 34 DIVISION IX —— ALL IOWA OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. 35 -66- LSB 1020HV (2) 86 kh/tm 66/ 67
