To correspond with 34 a change in the assessment requirements enacted in 2017, the 35 -8- LSB 5185SV (2) 87 kh/rj 8/ 10

S.F. 2114 bill requires that the state board’s rules provide a set of 1 core academic indicators in science in grade 10, rather than 2 the current requirement for core academic indicators in science 3 in grade 11. 4 OBSOLETE NCLB-RELATED PROVISIONS. The bill strikes 5 language providing for a requirement that school districts and 6 accredited nonpublic schools annually report to the department 7 and to the local community the district-wide progress made 8 in attaining student achievement goals, demonstrate the 9 use of multiple assessment measures in determining student 10 achievement, and submit to the department related student 11 data. The requirement included the use of uniform definitions 12 consistent with the federal NCLB Act. The bill makes 13 corresponding changes. The bill strikes provisions requiring 14 that the core content standards adopted by the state board 15 be identical to the 2006 standards and assessment system 16 approved by the federal department of education; requiring 17 a school district with a low-achieving attendance center to 18 implement one or more of the interventions mandated by the 19 federal department of education under the federal NCLB Act, and 20 requiring that such a school district meet with the employee 21 organization representing the school district’s teachers to 22 negotiate a memorandum of understanding relating to the terms 23 of any collective bargaining agreement between the parties; and 24 a provision requiring the state board to apply for a federal 25 grant under the federal NCLB Act. 26 PRACTITIONER PREPARATION PROGRAMS —— STATE BOARD RULES. The 27 state board of education has a statutory duty to prescribe 28 standards and procedures for the approval of practitioner 29 preparation programs and professional development programs 30 offered in this state by postsecondary institutions located 31 within or outside this state and by area education agencies. 32 Currently, statutory provisions relating to the state board’s 33 responsibility to adopt rules relating to institutions that 34 offer practitioner preparation programs and professional 35 -9- LSB 5185SV (2) 87 kh/rj 9/ 10

S.F. 2114 development programs are located in Code chapters 256 1 (department of education) and 272 (educational examiners 2 board). The bill transfers such statutory language from 3 Code chapter 272 to Code section 256.16 (specific criteria 4 for teacher preparation and certain educators), eliminates a 5 reference to “professional development institution” that was 6 not defined or used elsewhere in Iowa Code or rule, and removes 7 resulting redundancies by repealing Code sections 272.25 and 8 272.27. 9 BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL GRANT PROGRAM —— REPEALED. The bill 10 repeals the before and after school grant program, which was 11 established to provide competitive grants to school districts 12 and other public and private organizations to expand the 13 availability of before and after school programs and summer 14 schools. The program has not received state funding since the 15 2008-2009 fiscal year. 16 -10- LSB 5185SV (2) 87 kh/rj 10/ 10
