GHAEA Board approves The Promise of Iowa resolution

The Iowa Association of School Boards recently launched The Promise of Iowa, a statewide campaign to focus attention on the future of Iowa public school students and to rally support for public education in Iowa. 
     At their December board meeting, the GHAEA  Board of Directors passed  the resolution to join and support the efforts of “The Promise of Iowa” campaign to ensure that Iowa lawmakers continue to prioritize investments to improve the community schools that create opportunities for more than
480,000 public school Iowa students. 
     The board received the following thank you from The Promise of Iowa:
