Former Iowa Dept of Education director Ted Stilwill told me "none of the proposed changes" to AEAs "provide any strategies providing any evidence of improving outcomes. The proposed changes are about money and power and have little to do with kids." bleedingheartland.com/2024/03/24/iow…
@LauraRBelin It's criminal how the IA House rushed this bill through, denying Iowans AND our elected reps the opportunity to read & understand the amended legislation. A time certain motion? Really? For a basketball game?? Ted Stilwill nails it: This is about money & power, not our kids.
@LauraRBelin Kim has to repay her far right oligarch donors with our tax money through privatized services
@LauraRBelin Not to hard to figure out. It's just another lobbiest funded bill.
@LauraRBelin @KonfrstForHouse I am left still wondering when it will ever be enough to Iowans to quit electing these people. Is this finally it?
@LauraRBelin It’s okay though. Two district superintendents like it. I’ll give our governor this..she’s taken NOT serving her constituents to an art form.
@LauraRBelin Top AEA brass held all the money and all the power *** Now it goes to the people/customers.
@LauraRBelin It's obvious to teachers and AEA staff.
@LauraRBelin Money appeared to be a necessary correction as the AEA costs exceed the budgets and the positive impact value was decreasing. 👀
