Don’t just dance and celebrate like em. Don’t just try to play football like em. Do the off the field work too. They don’t just play football.

Because the only one who gets to choose are the #PrivateSchools
They can say NO to whoever they wish - special needs, non-English speakers, gay, lesbian, transgender … the list goes on and on.
#PublicMoneyForPublicSchools
#SchoolVouchers mostly fund children already in private school.
They create massive new budget obligations.
Lawmakers then are forced to raid state school aid for $$ later.
This is what happens in every state and it’ll happen in #Iowa #IAed #IAleg too. 😞
“Accountability” for You, “Freedom” for Me. Just call it what it is #Hypocrisy
Shorter #schoolvouchers backers:
Using standardized tests to evaluate #publicschools #education is accountability.
But using standardized tests to evaluate voucher schools is “over-regulation.”
(Psst: This is why: tests show horrific voucher performance 👇👇👇)

A winter system is expected to bring mixed precipitation to the region starting this evening through much of Monday. Precipitation types will be largely temperature and location dependent. Take a look a the graphic below for more details. #SDwx
After a great call with @CoachJoeGanz I am blessed to announce I have received my second Division 1 offer from UNI! Thanks for the amazing opportunity! @BrycePaup @UNIFootball
Teachers build bonds for life … whether you’re a D1 basketball coach, bank teller, or farmer. #ThankATeacher #CelebratePublicSchools
There's an interesting proposed change in HSB 31, the rules that govern the Iowa House. Rule 32 says any bills that go through the Education Reform Committee are exempt from Appropriations and Ways and Means, where their financial impact would be assessed. legis.iowa.gov/legislation/B…
Just think what Iowa’s Public Schools would be able to do with an additional $900 million over the next four years, but instead this proposal creates a dual funding mechanism that will only lead to fewer and fewer dollars for Iowa’s public schools for eternity.
New post: Emboldened by a larger Iowa House majority, @IAGovernor made her school voucher proposal much more ambitious and more expensive.
I reviewed the most significant changes compared to the plan she couldn't get through #ialegis last year: bleedingheartland.com/2023/0…
Lyon’s Den and Mini Mustangs going strong. 115 wrestlers combine. Future is bright. #Homegrown @CLGLRwrestling @CLGLRgirlsWR
Amen! This is a one year solution, not an on going revenue source! Another sound bite, but little strategic planning. I don’t think the Governor nor the majority of Legislators understand school finance and have little interest in listening to those who do.
First of Many for this 🐶 #Onward
After a great call with @Coach_Creighton I am blessed to receive my first Division 1 offer to play at Eastern Michigan University! Thank you for this amazing opportunity! #ETOUGH @_b_blanes @EMUFB
