ISEA AT WORK
A stack of printed emails sits in Iowa State Education Association headquarters waiting for
delivery to the Board of Educational Examiners office. The emails came from members who
responded to an ISEA question about a proposed BOEE rule which would change the way
Special Education teachers are licensed in Iowa. The respondents were overwhelmingly
opposed to the rule change. Copies of each email were hand-delivered to the board office
along with a letter from ISEA President Tammy Wawro explaining the reasons for the
opposition. You can find a copy of the letter posted on the ISEA's Facebook page.
State Sen. Jeff Danielson of Cedar Falls shows his support for the Iowa State
Education Association by holding up a "Be Counted" t-shirt at the Harkin Steak Fry
in Indianola. Danielson is a Cedar Falls firefighter and a consistent supporter of
ISEA's education initiatives at the Statehouse.
