East Sac County School Board makes suggestions to the IASB

The Iowa Association of School Boards, (when not acting like sleaze balls with something to hide,) and to whom the current East Sac County School Board members voluntarily give our tax money, also lobby on behalf of the schools in the Iowa legislature.

In order to help the IASB in their efforts in representing their schools, they ask that members contribute their opinions about on which topics they should focus when lobbying. Following is the list of items from which the East Sac County School Board choose four legislative priorities for recommendation. The items that are circled are the items on which the ESC school board wants the IASB to focus in 2012. The items in bold that say "2011 IASB Priority" are the items that the IASB will focus on this year.

The third page of this set of records entitled “Advocacy Survey” is something that the ESC board has been asked to submit to the IASB on a voluntary basis.

East Sac County Legislative Priorities

The documents indicate that the board was supposed to recommend five items, but the ESC board choose to recommend only four items.

According to ESC President Chuck Brotherton in an opinion he offered at the June 27 meet, "You're supposed to select the top five issues, and if they're not the same as the 4A schools, they won't be heard anyway."
